Hi..I feel with so many systems of the body involved and the fluctuating fever being there, it should be viral illness. . Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active.
Do not use Mefenamic acid. It is an NSAID. . It carries the risk of gastritis and renal problems in the long run. Please do not use Mefanorm.
