Hi,... By what you quote it seems that your child has typhoid fever. Because malaria is negative and you have already given lariago. I also advice you to do typhidot Igm test it will make the diagnosis more clear. Monocef is given for typhoid only so in my opinion your child has typhoid fever and you are getting correct treatment.
