Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of persistent fever which is due to viral infection and it could be due to poor immunity and increased susceptibility of body of getting infected. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician first once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Give full rest to your child with sound sleep. Drink lukewarm water throughout the day as it can provide relief. You can give Meftal P to child for fever. Give soft foods to child to avoid irritation and plenty of fluids to child. Apply mist humidifiers in room. Get blood test done again to detect level of infection. if symptoms keeps on persisting. Avoid taking outside food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
