Hi doctor, Ive been having fever for the past 5 days, with temperatures ranging from 102 to 103.4, and a constant unbearable headache at the back of my head. I recently did a urine test that showed 25-30 RBC per HPF. Im wondering if the fever is caused by the RBC in my urine or if its the other way around. I consulted two doctors: one asked me to get all blood and urine tests done, and the other suggested I retake the urine test. Right now, Im taking medications like Switch 200, Aceclofenac and Paracetamol (Alock P), and Cefpodoxime Proxetil Tablets (Switch 200). However, as soon as the medicine effect wears off, the fever comes back, and Paracetamol hasnt been very helpful for my headache either. I tried Ibugesic Plus which gave me some relief for about 5 hours, but the fever and headache come back. The retest results will only come on Tuesday, but in the meantime, Im really worried and need advice on what could be going on.

Could indicate a possible urinary tract infection (UTI) or kidney infection. The fever is likely not directly caused by the RBC in your urine, but rather both symptoms may be due to an underlying infection. Since your symptoms are persisting and the fever returns when the effect of the medicine wears off, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. If the current treatment is not providing adequate relief, your doctor may need to reassess your condition and consider adjusting your medication regimen or ordering additional tests. It is crucial to complete the prescribed course of antibiotics and continue taking the medications as directed until you receive further guidance from your healthcare provider. In the meantime, make sure to stay well-hydrated, get plenty of rest, and monitor your symptoms closely. If your fever persists or worsens, seek medical attention promptly.
