Hello,Thanks for using Healthcaremagic. i had gone through the data you have posted.
we need some more details like

from which location she is?
any history of travel?
any history of pet animals?
any history of cold, cough,burning urination?

i need look at those reports though those may appear normal.
high fever since seven days intermittent can possibly is
1) typhoid: but widal test becomes positive only after 5 to 6 days as it is a antibody test. or rising titer indicates acute infection.
2) malaria: card test have limited sensitivity so go for smear examination for malaria.
3)urinary infection: do complete urine routine.

if you have cough with yellowish expectoration do chest x ray PA view.

kindly get back to me with these reports and kindly post the pictures of the report as though values may be in normal range but we can understand some changes...
hoep this helps..
