hi, fever for 3 days can be due to upper respiratory tract infection, typhoid, Malaria infection. You should do blood test like complete blood count, typhidot IGM, malarial antigen test. Continue giving paracetamol syrup. you should do the test immediately. Based on above report antibiotic needs to be started. An examination by doctor should be done so that we may not miss any important finding. Take care.
