Fever & Infection Check

Fever that will not settle is the commonest reason people in Pakistan reach for antibiotics before anyone has looked at a blood test. The Fever & Infection Check answers the question that actually matters first: is this a bacterial infection, a viral one, or something inflamed that has been building for weeks? Three blood tests from one sample taken at your home in Lahore, and a doctor who reads them with you. It is the right check if your fever has lasted more than three days, keeps returning in the evenings, or came with body aches, chills and weakness.

The three work as a set. The CBC counts your white cells, and their pattern is the first clue to bacterial against viral; it also shows your platelets, which matter in dengue season. CRP rises within hours of a bacterial infection starting, so it is the most useful marker early on, when a fever is only two or three days old. ESR moves more slowly and stays raised longer, so read next to CRP it separates something that started this week from something smouldering for a month. Together they tell your doctor how ill you actually are, not just how ill you feel.

Your report is usually ready the same day. A PMC verified General Physician then goes through it with you, online or at a clinic, whichever suits you, and answers the question you came with: do you need an antibiotic, or would one do nothing here. If the pattern points at typhoid, dengue or malaria, they order that specific test then, so you pay for the right one instead of guessing. If everything is normal, that is worth knowing too.

بخار تین دن سے زیادہ رہے، شام کو بار بار چڑھے، یا ساتھ میں جسم درد، سردی لگنا اور کمزوری ہو تو اندازے سے دوا لینے کے بجائے ٹیسٹ کروا لیں۔ اس چیک اپ میں CBC، CRP اور ESR شامل ہیں جو مل کر بتاتے ہیں کہ انفیکشن بیکٹیریا کا ہے یا وائرس کا۔ نمونہ لاہور میں گھر بیٹھے لیا جاتا ہے، رپورٹ زیادہ تر اسی دن مل جاتی ہے، اور مرہم کا ڈاکٹر آن لائن یا کلینک پر بتاتا ہے کہ اینٹی بائیوٹک کی ضرورت ہے یا نہیں۔
