Hi, I had gone through your query and understand your concern. If I were the treating physician, I would look for few more information like>Time when fever rises>Pattern of rising temperature, highest temperature recorded>Rash >Travel history>Respiratory symptoms>Signs of organ enlargement and >Any other local or systemic positive findings etc. Then I might have suggested some laboratory investigations specially blood for culture and sensitivity. Since your wife has been suffering for almost 3 weeks, my opinion is that : Please consult with an internal medicine specialist. Hope this helps you. If you have additional queries, please do not hesitate to write us. We will be happy to answer. Wish your wife a rapid cure.
