Brief Answer:
Needs antibiotics after investigations

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Fever with chills is suggestive of an infection. This can be a throat infection or urine infection or uterine infection or intestinal infection. Proper diagnosis needs a direct physical examination and a few tests to find the cause. The antibiotics can be recommended only after finding the cause. Do consult a physician for this.
Regarding a baby formula usually NAN I is used. Do confirm it with her pediatrician before starting.
Hope this answer is helpful.
Any further questions are welcome.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
