What Could Fever In Toddlers With Excess Sweating Suggest?

My 4 yr. old has had a fever for 4 days now.it was only in the morning when she got up.we gave her tylenol And she was fine the whole day. But today the fever Did not go away.we took her to the er.they said she has an ear infection and gave her antibiotics. Now she is sleeping. The thing that worries my though is that she is pale and she is sweating but her body is cool to the touch. Should We take her back yo the er?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, since your child has fever for 4 days with sweating episodes and paleness, it appears to be malarial infection. In my opinion some investigations are needed to be done like malarial antigen test, CBC, NS1 Antigen test.
You should continue to give adequate liquid diet to the child. These investigations should be done immediately. I hope this has helped you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
