Hello,
Your baby is suffering from viral illness probably, still needs an investigation to rule out other pathology. Give antipyretic every six hourly, maintain hydration, and provide rest. Investigations as per my opinion are CBC, urine complete culture, Widal test, blood culture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
