HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, febrile condition of six days could be infection, the most common would be virus, some time it may takes little more time for cure still it is better to get done the routine blood and urine test to rule out bacterial or parasitic infection, if the total count comes low then chances of typhoid is likely, such case needs close observation hope this information helps.
