Out of Hospital but developed fever

Thanx for your posts. My father is home now. Got him discharged day before. However yesterday evening he again developed fever. reached upto 101 F and was given paracetamol. However he is till having fever in arnd 99.5. (all readings are in the arm and not in mouth). Blood and urine culture are not negative for bacterial growth. Before going to hospital for transfusion he was (though didnt monitored) not having any fever for arn 10 months. however as soon he entered the hospital, before transfusion the nursing staff measured the temp and it showed reading of 99.5, was given paracetamol. after that he was transfused two units of blood and arnd 1 hr after transfusion developed severe chills and fever. was given antialergic injection and paracetamol. the temp became normal after 5 hours. he didnt had any temp for 30 hours and before transfusing 3rd PRBC the thermometer again showed temp of anr 99.5. was again given paracetamol. He didnt had fever for another 30 hours. But since yesterday evening he is continiously having fever and even after paracetamol the temp is till there.

Any suggestions/advise/inputs ?

Regards,

Neel
