Hi... Fever of 5 days could be anything from viral to typhoid. What's more important is...her activity and well being when there is no fever in between and any other symptoms if at all. If she's active when there's no fever...its could be viral. I don't see the need to start in antibiotics without blood culture. Kindly get back what other symptoms she has. Happy to help anytime. If my answer has helped you...kindly rate it.
