My 7.5 year old son has been unwell for the past 15 days. He gets a fever every 6 to 8 hours. He is being treated with antibiotics, fever syrup, and multivitamins. We have done all the blood tests, and everything came back negative. What could be the reason for this persistent fever? What should we do next, as it has already been 15 days? We are worried because we do not know what is happening. Please advise.
