Hello dear,welcome to HCM.

Persisting fever indicates some ongoing infection.The most common causes are respiratory tract infection,UTI,enteric fever,viral infection etc.
To suggest the site of infection,a more detailed history and a physical examination is necessary.
Anyhow,if bacterial infections(RTI,UTI,enteric fever etc) are ruled out,as your doctor told,this may just indicate a viral fever,and is likely to respond to supportive measures like anti pyretics,bed rest,adequate fluid intake and a light diet for a few days.

Hope I have answered your query.
Wishing for a faster cure.
Thank you.
