hi,
thanks for reaching us

he has fever of 5 days without any other issues..only urine test is done,which is normal...
so, better way to go further would be to do few basic blood tests to rule out infectious causes

start with
1)complete blood count,peripheral smear for malarial parasite,ESR and see a pediatrician with the reports

2)meanwhile, fever should be controlled with paracetamol syrup every 6 th to 8 th hrly to Keep his temperature less than 100*f , give adequate oral liquids to keep him well hydrated.
