Hello
There could be other reasons for her fever like UTI,some deep seated infection,pneumonia etc.
You have to get her investigated by getting CBC,urine routine and microscopic examination,x-ray chest and ultrasound whole abdomen and possibly blood and urine culture.
If nothing comes out,then you may have to get CT chest and abdomen.
Consult a good physician for the necessary investigations and subsequent treatment.
Thanks
