Heamogram normal. Typhoid negative. Pls suggest what it could be...Urine routine and blood culture is under testing... What else needed for diagnosis??
Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. Fever medicine would bring down fever. But complete freedom from the problem need removal of basic cause. (like suitable antibiotic added to fever medicine in case of infection) Fever with submandibular swelling could be a lymph swelling due to infection of the area Chat Doctor. . Accompanied by swelling of lymph nodes at other sites.  You have started with many investigations. But in my view a detailed physical examination by a pediatrician would be important in order to make primary impression of the cause & then advise specific investigations to confirm the diagnosis followed by cause specific treatment.  Please consult her pediatrician for guidance.  Thanks
