Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

Fever for more than 4 days requires blood investigations. It could very well be bacterial infection. If you are living in a tropical country or recently a visit happened, please check for malaria.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prasanna Lakshmi, Pediatrician
