Fever & Viral Infections

Evaluation and prompt treatment of viral fevers, dengue, typhoid and malaria.

I

Fever is one of the most common reasons for a clinic visit — and one of the most important to evaluate carefully. In Bengaluru, viral fevers, dengue, typhoid and malaria circulate seasonally, each requiring a different approach.

We follow structured fever evaluation protocols: proper history, targeted testing at the right time, and clear red-flag guidance so that serious infections are caught early and treated promptly.

Common conditions treated

  • Viral fevers — the most common cause, usually self-limiting
  • Dengue — with platelet monitoring and hydration guidance
  • Typhoid — diagnosed by blood culture and treated with antibiotics
  • Malaria — rapid diagnosis and antimalarial therapy
  • Urinary and respiratory tract infections

When to suspect a serious infection

  • Fever lasting beyond 5 days
  • Severe headache, vomiting or abdominal pain
  • Bleeding from gums or nose, or skin rashes
  • Breathlessness, confusion or very low urine output
  • Fever in infants, pregnant women or the elderly

Treatment approach

  • Targeted blood tests — CBC, Widal, dengue and malaria panels
  • Appropriate antibiotics — only when bacterial infection is confirmed or likely
  • Hydration and symptomatic management protocols
  • Platelet and fever monitoring for dengue patients
  • Follow-up review until full recovery
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

If it persists beyond 3–5 days, is very high, or is accompanied by warning signs like vomiting, rash or severe headache — blood tests help identify dengue, typhoid and malaria.

Paracetamol is safe for most fevers. Avoid NSAIDs when dengue is suspected, as they increase bleeding risk. Let us guide you.

Most viral fevers settle within 3–7 days. Fatigue may persist for a few more days.
