He has been suffering from fever from last few days vs He has been suffering from fever since last few days

Both statements are wrong. The preposition "from" is not used with "since" or "last few days." The correct expression would be, "He has been suffering from fever for the last few days."

He has been suffering from fever from last few days

This phrase is incorrect. The use of "from" twice is redundant and not idiomatic in English.

The correct preposition to use with the duration of time is "for."

Alternatives:

  • he has been suffering from fever for the last few days

He has been suffering from fever since last few days

This phrase is incorrect. The use of "since" is not appropriate with "last few days."

The correct preposition to use with the duration of time is "for."

Alternatives:

  • he has been suffering from fever for the last few days
