Asked by Female, 55 · 10 days ago
A high fever of 104.6F is significant and should be evaluated by a doctor. Basic tests usually recommended include CBC (complete blood count), malaria test, dengue test (NS1/IgM), typhoid test, and urine routine examination. Meanwhile, give paracetamol for the fever and keep her well hydrated. Seek medical care if the fever persists or worsens.
