I understand you are worried about your sister's persistent fever. Given her symptoms of high fever, severe headache, and chills, it is best to consult a doctor promptly. To check for dengue and other infections, a physician may recommend a Complete Blood Count (CBC) to monitor platelets, a Dengue NS1 antigen test (or Dengue IgM/IgG if the fever has lasted over five days), and possibly a malaria test. For now, keep her comfortable, offer plenty of fluids, and continue paracetamol (Crocin) as directed. Please have a healthcare professional evaluate her soon to ensure she receives the proper care.
