Brief Answer: needs xray and blood tests Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for writing to health care magic. You need to do further tests like xray to rule out pneumonia. Blood and urine tests are needed to rule out blood and urine infections too, because fever of 40 degrees is pretty high. Wishing speedy recovery. Regards Dr Arun
