Brief Answer:
Seems to be a viral infection

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through the reports. The urine report does not indicate any Urinary tract infection. The blood report is also not suggestive of any bacterial infection. Rather the whole picture fits with that of a viral infection.

In case of a viral infection antibiotics are ineffective. You have to give paracetamol to bring down the temperature. It should take 5-7 days to recover irrespective of any treatment.

Hope that helps
