Fever persisting for 3 weeks is always worrisome..
Thorough physical exam. is most crucial
Needs work up: repeat CBC, peripheral smear careful exam., blood and urine culture, chest x ray

Talk to experienced orthopedist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Most fevers in children are viral in origin and take 3-7 days to subside completely,sometimes more.
The report suggest the same.
If not accompanied by any other symptoms like vomiting or loose motions or coughing and breathlessness or dullness and refusal to feed,just give paracetamol for fever and repeat every 4 hours if required.
Ensure a healthy balanced diet and plenty of fluids.
