Monitoring fever safely
Note the measured temperature, duration and accompanying symptoms. Rest and adequate fluids may help, but avoid taking antibiotics or combining medicines without professional advice.
When to see a doctor
Consult a physician when fever persists, returns repeatedly, worsens, or occurs with marked weakness, rash, dehydration, severe body pain or other concerning symptoms.
Clinical evaluation
A consultation may include a symptom history, physical examination and tests selected according to the likely cause. Treatment depends on the diagnosis rather than fever alone.

Tests are recommended only when clinically appropriate; antibiotics are not automatically required for every fever. Appointments are manually confirmed by phone or WhatsApp.

Record temperature readings and bring prior reports, prescriptions and details of medicines already taken. Mention travel, mosquito exposure, sick contacts, rash, urinary symptoms, cough or stomach symptoms.
