Symptoms may suggest viral infection or typhoid. If COVID testing isnt available, consider CBC, Widal, or CRP. Stay hydrated and consult doctor for empirical treatment.

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?

Fever is coming and it has continued for six days. Today the urine pus cell test report shows 3 to 6 hpf and the CRP test result shows a positive reaction in 1:8 dilution and CRP concentration is 4.8 mg/dl. What should I do?
