Do not have to worry about this ketone report as of now
In mild dehydration when fluid intake is less also such report can happen
Next Steps
Give plenty of fluids to take when fever is there
Health Tips
Can repeat blood sugar and urine ketones later if needed
If fever still persists go for detailed blood investigations after reviewing with your pediatrician
