Hello sir/madam,
I am highly concerned regarding your daughter's health. Repeated fever since last 6 days will warrant us for further investigations. High ESR and urinary protein +2, indicates that there is some sort of stress in body, may be it is infection. It is better to get your child examined again for finding focus of infection and if required blood culture can be done. Do not worry, your child will be well soon. Thank you
