Hello

Most common cause of fever with headache,muscular and joint pain in this age is some viral infection.Fever may be the only manifestation in viral infection or other symptoms like cough,cold,loose motion or vomiting may develop later.
In viral infection fever usually shows a declining trend after 72 hours.I would suggest you to wait for sepsis profile and blood culture report.
Till then follow the advice of your doctor.If reports are not suggestive of any bacterial infection the baby may get discharged from the hospital with oral medications.
