I am suffering from fever since 20-25 days. Its around 99 degrees f. I have taken medicine from local doctor but still no improvement. Sometimes fever is there sometimes not. I got tested it twice and found malaria weekly positive and positive respectively. Test also showed typhoid first positive and now semi-positive. Recently I took hydroxychloroquine sulphate twice in a day for 3 days to treat malaria. Still I don't see any improvement. Please suggest.

Hi Lybrate user. There is some diurnal variation of body temperature. Generally in evening it may be 99 f that is normal. You should make temperature charting 4 hourly. Typhoid widal test is obsolete nowadays. False positivity is high in this test. You can go for elisa typhoid igm/and igg test for typhoid from a good lab. You should follow these things. Take healthy diet. Maintain hydration. Do excercise/morning walk. If temperature >100f take paracetamol 500 mg. Wish you speedy recovery. Thank you.
