Hi...I have just read through your query. It seems that your kid is having Enteric or Typhoid fever. I suggest admitting the kid in a hospital and starting IV Ceftriaxone which is a very good antibiotic for Typhoid. Once fever is not there for 24 hours and appetite is improving the kid can be discharged and sent home on Oral antibiotics for total 14 days.
