Brief answer:
This could be thyroid or infection in lungs or abdomen.
Detailed answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM.
I have read your question in detail.
Your child has high grade fever for almost 8 days, TLC is high and composed of mainly neutrophils this suggests that your child has active infection.
In my opinion, you should do some tests like typhidot Igm, malarial antigen test, x ray chest and ultrasound abdomen. Sometimes, there is pus collection beneath the diaphragm which requires an ultrasound to detect it.
I suggest you to immediately do the above tests and revert back with reports.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
If you have any more questions, i will be happy to help you.
Take care.
