Persistent high-grade fever for over 6 days despite antibiotics needs a detailed clinical review. Since dengue, typhoid, and malaria are ruled out, other possibilities such as viral fever (EBV, CMV), occult bacterial infection, or early inflammatory conditions (like Kawasaki disease or autoimmune fever syndromes) must be considered. Slightly elevated SGOT/SGPT and
CRP indicate ongoing inflammation but don’t confirm typhoid alone.
You should get re-evaluated urgently by a pediatrician or infectious disease specialist for repeat investigations — including blood culture, chest X-ray, urine culture,
ferritin, ESR, LDH, and possibly ultrasound abdomen to rule out hidden infections or inflammatory causes.
Fever of this pattern should not be managed at home, especially if it is touching 104–105°F. Continue sponging for comfort, maintain hydration, and follow the treating doctor’s instructions strictly.
Next Steps
Please consult your pediatrician again for detailed evaluation and monitoring — persistent fever of this kind always warrants specialist review rather than home treatment.
