Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, fever for 7 days in a 6 year old child can be due to typhoid, acute gastroenteritis, dengue. Pain abdomen can occur in all three. you should do blood test like complete blood count, typhidot IGM, dengue serology, and malarial antigen test. pain abdomen is a complication. Antibiotic like cefixime needs to be started. If fever persist in spite of using antibiotic, then child needs to be hospitalized. Give soft diet to child. Give medicines properly. Temperature starting should be done so that we may know that the child is responding to treatment or not. Take care.
