Thanks for consulting at Healthcare Magic.
Antibiotics are not effective against viral infections. Further routine antibiotics are not effective against some chronic bacterial or protozoal infections.
Detailed investigations like CBS, Widal, PS exam, Urine analysis, ESR etc. are required to confirm diagnosis. Consult pediatrician and ask for these investigations.
