Should get the Blood Culture and Sensitivity test done. Get other routine investigations also done. But what are the symptoms ??
Next Steps
Should get CRP level checked again after 8 - 12 hours to whether child is responding to the treatment or not ? If not need to change the antibiotics depending upon Culture and Sensitivity report.

Intravenous antibiotics has to be given for certain duration like 5 to 7days depending on situation, and it's the only way to get rid of infection so high.
