Hello
Since 7 days passed and initially your daughter took swich and now she is taking Zanocin 100 mg i.e ofloxacin ( a broad spectrum antibiotics also useful in typhoid fever with effective in U R I).
Such type of fever may be due to these reasons , these includes.
1 Typhoid fever , as this is a long standing fever , so please get in Widal test for confirmation.
2 Jaundice is the most common cause of such fever in little child , so please get blood for serum bilirubin ( direct , indirect & total ) and s g ot . s g pt test.
3 Upper respiratory infection may be the another such cause .
In my opinion deal as mentioned above .
However there are so many other causes as, malaria , anemia .
Consult another physician and get his opinion.
I find this answer helpful
