Hi
I just want to know other complaints of your child other than fever because your child can be suffering from malaria, Upper respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection Or simple viral cold despite child has treated for typhoid. Blood parameters and PS for malaria can give clear picture regarding diagnosis. If simple URTI then Azithromycin syrup is sufficiant but diagnosis is different then treat him accordingly.....
Thank you.
