Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

By what you say this looks like a typhoid fever or a urinary tract infection or a prolonged viral illness. As fever has been there for almost 2 weeks, if I was your pediatrician I would have done blood culture and urine culture and a tube method Widal test before starting antibiotics. If fever is still persisting, I would give intravenous antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sumanth Amperayani
