Hi, fever is persisting for 6 days, if I was your treating doctor I would have asked to do typhoon IGM for typhoid, Complete blood count and NS1 Antigen test for dengue. I think your child should be started on treatment guidelines for typhoid but for this we need exact weight of child as antibiotics are effective in proper dosage only. Secondly, do temperature charting that is record temperature every 8 hours and revert with records. Hope this has helped you. If you have any more questions, I will be happy to help you. Wish your child good health.
