Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for the question. It is most likely to be viral fever. It takes its coursefor 4days n settles. As you have already started with antibiotic please continue with the course of 5days. Give steam inhalation as well. If there is no response to fever at all by 4th day then it would be good to do a blood test for malaria. Also you can give paracetamol every 6hourly if fever recurrs wothin that time limit.
