Hi... I understand your concern. It could be a viral illness or a typhoid fever or urinary tract infection.
I suggest you do -
1. Blood culture.
2. Widal test in tube method.
3. Urine culture.
4. Ultra sound abdomen to rule out upper Urinary tract infection.
I suggest you get back to me about the kid' status. I even suggest changin of antibiotics to Ceftriaxone instead of Netilmicin.
