Pediatrician,  's  Response
Since the reports are normal, as you mention, probably the cause is a viral infection. Viral infections in children are very common and are often associated with high rise of temperature. Antibiotics are ineffective but since you have started it, I would insist you to complete the course. No alternative antibiotics required. Just continue febrinil which contains paracetamol which will help in bringing down the temperature. Steam inhalation would be helpful. Give plenty of curd. In 5-7 days things generally return to normal. If not, get blood tests done to rule out typhoid.
