Why do I still have a low-grade fever during the day after taking Oflox 400 mg twice daily for 15 days for typhoid, even though my repeat blood tests, ultrasound, and tests for tuberculosis and malaria are all normal?
Since your follow-up tests, ultrasound, and malaria/TB screenings are all completely normal, the typhoid infection itself has likely cleared. Sometimes, after a significant infection, your body's temperature-regulating center takes a few weeks to fully reset, causing a mild, harmless daily warmth. Additionally, your body is still recovering from the stress of the illness and the 15-day course of Oflox (ofloxacin). I recommend staying well-hydrated, getting plenty of rest, and tracking your temperature. If this persists beyond another week or you develop new symptoms, please consult your doctor for a gentle review.
