hello ..
no need to worry about the fever just continue the same treatment ..
i have seen cases fever will continue up to seven to 10 days..
most common cause for uncontrolled fever is secondary infection by bacteria..
just add few antibiotic like amoxicillin+ clavulinic acid will help...
few rare causes also will be there liker reye"s syndrome and encephalitis and all..
please consult your doctor if symptoms not improved....
