Generally this is considered as Pyrexia of unknown origin and investigated accordingly. Generally it is due to Hodgkin disease, Temporal arteritis, Tuberculosis, Deep muscle abscess, Sarcoidosis, APS and a few others. It needs a thorough analysis and investigation. Get him to a good reputed hospital near you. In the meantime you can consult is for releif of his symptoms.

"I understand your concern about your father's recurrent fever, and I appreciate you seeking further guidance. Given his age and lack of comorbidities, it's essential we explore all possible causes.
Can you tell me more about the fever? For example:
- How often does it occur?
- How long does it last?
- Are there any associated symptoms like chills, sweating, or body aches?
- Has he recently traveled or been exposed to anyone with a similar illness?
Additionally, I'd like to know more about the allopathic treatments he's received so far. What medications has he been taking, and for how long?
Recurrent fever can be due to infections like Tuberculosis, Urinary Tract infection,Endocarditis etc,or due to inflammations like rheumatoid arthritis or malignancies..
Next Steps
Let's work together to determine the underlying cause of his fever and find an effective treatment plan."consult me in practo online
Health Tips
