<bot>: Welcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Fever if not resolved even after 5 days should be evaluated properly. Viral fever usually subsides within 5 days. I advise you to follow investigations:1. Hologram with ESR2. Tidal test3. Malaria Antigenic you have the reports review with me. Till then give him Tablet Paracetamol on as on when required basis. This is my personal opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me. Stay HealthyChatDoctor, MD
