Dear Patient,

Fever is viral during the first week to ten days. It may become bacterial when it's for longer than this time period. When you take an antibiotic like azomax your test reports will not be accurate as you are already taking something to kill the harmful bacteria. A good time to do tests is BEFORE antibiotics.
You may consult with a general physician if you are having burning urine or worsening chest infection or fever is still high after using azomax for five days or more.
When fever is high considered taking a bath and cold sponging esp under your armpits to lower temperature.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best General Physicians in Lahore and seek in-person advice.
