Three episodes of fever each lasting 8 days in a 2year 11 month old child should be given importance. It is not a trivial condition. He requires investigations. To begin with CBP, ESR, CRP, Montoux test , CUE, Urine for culture & sensitivity , Blood culture. Start Paracetamol. Specific treatment can be started after reports come in.
