High fever since past 8 days
First day around 100, next 3 days around 103 reoccurring after every 4-5hrs even after full dose of Meftal. After 3 days fever around 99 every 6-7 hourly but if half dose of meftal is given. Still fever is there. If we wait to not to give medicine, fever is still going around 102. No other symptom. Initially Dr said it is viral. So should I wait or go for the blood test? How long will the fever take?

Blood tests are needed especially if the child is weak, not eating and not active. Please discuss with your pediatrician or take a second opinion

Viral fever usually subsides by 5-7 days. If child is active and then no need to worry.
