Hi.... intermittent fever for the past nine days could be viral illness or it could also be Typhoid fever.
If I were your pediatrician I would suggest doing basic blood workup along with widal test and blood culture. I at the same time will start on a course of Azithromycin for 7 days pending blood cultures. The dose would be 20 MG per KG per day as a single dose.
