I was having low grade fever and body ache. The doctor advised me to get a dengue test. My report shows IgM and IgG non reactive, but NS1 is reactive. What does this mean?

NS1 positive confirms dengue in the early phase (first 5 days). You should rest, stay well hydrated, and monitor platelet count. Avoid painkillers like ibuprofen. If you develop bleeding, dizziness, or worsening symptoms, seek urgent medical care.

My ten month old baby boy weighs ten kilograms and has been getting fever every eight to twelve hours for the last five days. CRP, CBC, and dengue reports are normal. The urine test report is also normal. I am giving 1.3 ml of Calpol drops. The fever goes down after the syrup, but comes back after eight to twelve hours. What should I do?
