Suggest treatment for persistent fever and cough
Patient: i was having fever with slight cough (103oF) from 7/4/10, took medicine (nimuselide+paracetamol+ antibiotics and cough syrup (corico) but did not get relief. again revisit the Dr he changed antibiotics and advised to continue the syrup and  nimuselide+paracetamo. no relief by these drugs also. after taking antipyretics it subsidized for 10-12 hrs only kindly suggest Doctor: Hi,From history it seems that you require some investigations to come proper diagnosis of having fever.I suggest,X-ray chest,Complete blood checking with TC, DC, ESR, Platelet count,MP etc.Routine urine check up.S. Widal test for typhoid,If require blood culture.Consult your treating doctor and discuss about this.Ok and take care.
