Hello,

First, you haven't mentioned duration of fever which is foremost important point.

Your baby has fever, weakness for some days, probably it is viral fever if duration is less than 7 days, so give him paracetamol every 6 hourly, maintain hydration.

If duration of fever is more than 7 days, then needs repeat visit to doctor, needs some blood tests as Widal, urine examination, CBC et cetera to look for pathology, also to add some appropriate antibiotic.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
