- Health Queries for Mahacef-Plus Tablet 10's
I have been experiencing a mild fever for the past 45 days. Initially, I was diagnosed with malaria and typhoid and took medication for 12 days, after which my blood tests came back clear. However, the fever (100-101?F) continued. We consulted another doctor who advised a Widal test, which again showed positive for typhoid. After completing another 10 days of medication, I still have a persistent low-grade fever (99-100?F). We are confused about the cause and the next steps, as the fever is not resolving. What should we do now?

A persistent low-grade fever despite treatment for typhoid and malaria suggests the need for further evaluation to identify the underlying cause.
🩺 Next Steps to Consider
- Revisit an infectious disease specialist or an internal medicine doctor for a thorough clinical reassessment.
- Additional tests may be needed, such as blood cultures, imaging (e.g., ultrasound or chest X-ray), or tests for other infections or inflammatory conditions.
- Review the previous antibiotic treatments to ensure appropriate choice and duration; sometimes resistant infections or other causes mimic typhoid symptoms.
⚠️ When to Seek Urgent Care
- If you develop high fever, severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, confusion, or signs of bleeding, seek immediate medical attention.
