Brief Answer:
Could be typhoid
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child but don't worry about it.
Since, the fever is coming for last 6 days and it's not coming down, there is a very high probability of typhoid fever.
In my opinion, you should do complete blood count, typhidot igm and malarial antigen test to confirm the diagnosis.
You should continue taxim-o, crocin and meftal p as prescribed by the doctor till the results come.
If reports come positive for typhoid, then we have to change antibiotics.
Temperature charting should be done so that we can know whether child is responding or not.
Review back with above reports.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
