Brief Answer:
Needs detailed examination and evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Fever lasting for 10 days on and off, needs detailed evaluation and examination by your pediatrician. There are certain causes like leptospirosis, scrub typhus, etc which may not be covered in initial blood tests.
Another hidden source could be infection in organs like lungs or urinary infections which need to be ruled out.
Do keep him hydrated with plenty of liquids.
Followup with your pediatrician.
