Hi,
In my opinion, since your child has fever for 6 days, there is a possibility of typhoid, respiratory infection, Dengue fever. I think you should do some investigations like cbc, typhidot Igm, NS1 antigen test, malarial antigen test. Also, i would like to start the child on antibiotic like syrup amoxyclav 2.5 ml three times a day for 3 days. However, since this is a prescription drug, i suggest you to meet the local doctor to confirm the diagnosis. I hope this has helped you. Take care.
