Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a viral infection. But based on the fact that the symptoms has not improved in nine days I suggest to go in the hospital for further evaluation.
Meanwhile, I suggest treating the fever with Tylenol and Ibuprofen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
