Detailed Answer:
Hello sir, thanks for writing to us
This is a serious problem and should be dealt with early and she needs admission in a good hospital with all the tests for diagnosis of the cause of fever.
In my opinion get malaria parasite, dengue serology, widely, urine complete analysis and complete blood count done at the earliest.
Also an ultrasound of whole abdomen and baby needs to be done
Visit a tertiary care hospital at the earliest.
