HI.
Thanks for your query.
Since the patient is 10 years old and not getting response to the prescribed treatment , it would be better to conduct some tests ::
Blood- hemogram to see hemoglobin, WBC count for an infection
Urine - routine and microscopy,
Stool- routine, microscopy, cysts and ova, infection
Ultrasonography- to see whether there are lymph nodes, appendicitis and other detectable problems.
Sometimes the CT scan does diagnose the problems an ultrasonography can miss.

Continue with the treatment for 5 days, Request for tablets for worms and go for investigations.
