I would like to know if the child has any other symptom like sore throat, cough, headache, bodyache, burning in urine. also has he been immunised for typhoid fever. any fever lasting more than a week needs blood and urine investigation. ask your doctor to rule out malaria, typhoid, dengue, invective hepatitis,urinary infection.
