Hi,

Still this can be a viral illness, but as fever persists beyond 7 days, we need re-evaluation to rule out other causes like enteric fever. This needs few blood tests and urine analysis. Kindly discuss with your doctor.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
