Hi,
Thanks for the query. High grade fever can be essentially due to some infection.
She needs an array of investigatuons like widal test (for typhoid ¶typhoid),/cbc to detect proof infection... sputum culture &sensitivity for respiratory infectio/urine routine µscopic test &culture &sensitivity test or any infected wound she has.. teeth caries,/blood p.s. for m.p.
She should be started with suitable antibiotic with a expert pediatritian 's consultation & advise.
Thanks.
