Hi.... fever of 3 days in not be worried about if the child is active in between two fever episodes.
But 3 + proteinuria is a cause of concern. I would like to follow up the child and also do some other tests like serum cholesterol and serum albumin level to rule in or rule out the possibility of nephrotic syndrome.
If these tests are normal then I would leave it as a viral fever induced proteinuria.
