What is the treatment for high fever in a patient with negative COVID-19 antigen results?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have had a high fever for the last six days. I am taking a combination of zinc, neem, tulsi, Dolo 650, vitamin B, cod liver capsules, and chyawanprash twice daily. Both the COVID rapid rate polymerase and the COVID antigen are negative. Earlier, I had a fever due to urinary tract infections. So I took one Fosfomycin sachet yesterday and am slightly better today. I am not sure of anything. I need your suggestion about the treatment or prescription and a medical certificate stating that I am not fit to work and advised bed rest. Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

There are many types of infection. As you frequently suffer from a urine infection, please investigate your urine (routine, culture, and sensitivity). I suggest a Tablet of Doxycycline (tetracycline antibiotics)100 mg, one tablet orally 12 hourly for eight days for urinary tract infections.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Ok, I will get this test done. Please give me a medical certificate stating that I am advised bed rest so I can apply for leave from company. I am going to go ahead and buy medicine for five days.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

You will receive the relevant letters from our technician. Please contact our technical staff in writing so they can provide you with a documented prescription. I can provide you with recommendations for your treatments. For leave, the legitimacy of a written physical prescription is substantially greater. Our technical staff is excellent resources. They can provide you with a prescription with my name and the clinic's names.

I hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.

Regards.
