Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
As you have mentioned, fever coming in the evening and night daily needs blood tests.
Common fevers like malaria, dengue and typhoid needs to be ruled out for which a proper clinical examination by pediatrician and blood tests are required
Ensure your child drinks liquids well to keep hydrated.
Wishing speedy recovery.
