Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of persistent high fever which could be due to viral infection and coinfection by bacteria and virus. It is definitely a matter of concern. I would suggest you to do tepid sponging for immediate relief as you having high degree fever and take proper antibiotic course in combination with Ibuprofen/ Acetaminophen along with antiviral medications. Give child plenty of fluids and proper rest. Visit general physician once and get it examined. You should get routine blood test done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Normally it will take 5 - 7 days for viral fever to get recovered.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
