Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your kid have symptoms of persistent fever and chills which is due to viral infection and compromised immunity of body.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician first once and get it examined and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Get blood test done again to detect level of infection if symptoms keeps on persisting. Usually viral fever will take 3-5 days to completely cure its own. You can give Meftal P to child for fever. Give full rest to your child and apply cold wet sheets on head to lower down fever. Give plenty of fluids to child. Apply mist humidifiers in room. Avoid taking outside food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
