There are many reasons for recurring fever,viral or viral to begin with now with secondary bacterial infections. Widal is one of the test amongst other test. Widal is to find out for typhoid infection. Did you show it to your pediatrician? As fever going for more than 1week cannot be neglected. Dengue, swin flu, pumonia, typhoid and so on. If child is not well,not eating, getting hospitalised will help as he will be under observation and things can managed faster.
