No need for moxikind. Its a heavy antibiotic. Fever for more than 5 days requires investigation. Usually viral.fevers starts subsiding by day 5. If not then only we give antibiotic. Unnecessary use of antibiotic leads to resistance and you will suffer next time becuase of this practice. Never give antibiotics for fever. As a rule.of thumb.. "The higher the fever on first 2 days...the higher the chances of it being viral only"
Next Steps
Wait for 5 days. Investigate with crp and cbc
Health Tips
Might require examination in person if the child is dull
