Her illness started with chills and high fever (102F) about 15 days back. The blood report does not indicate malaria or typhoid. The hb%, platelet count and conjuctiva are normal. She has been on an antibiotic course for 1 week. The fever has since reduced but appears at night about 99F.No apparent appetite loss or nausea. Is it a case of FLU or is further diagnosis required.

15 days......
u should consult to doctor immediately.......
first of all....fever is not a disease. It is a indication that ur immunization power of the body is reduced. Now u got the idea that ur child is suffering from some infection.
The temperature is reduced because of the anti-biotic. The use of anti-biotic will reduce the effect of germs in the body very fastly. But i will say that dont use the anti-biotic for every sickness. It will affect ur immunization power of the body......
I am not a professional in medicine.....These are the first step instructions that everybody should know......
So pls immediately consult with a doctor..........
take care...

Most doctors say that kids with a fever less than 102 degrees Fahrenheit (38.9 degrees Celsius) don't need to take any special medication, unless their fevers are making them uncomfortable. It's a different story for newborns and very young infants, though. They should be evaluated by a doctor for any fever that reaches 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (38.0 degrees Celsius) or higher. In fact, a fever may do some good. A study published in the February 2004 Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology found that children who ran a fever during their first year were less likely to develop allergies later in childhood than children who did not have fever. More importantly, according to the AAP, a fever can help your child's body fight off infection. Many illness-causing microbes do best at the body's normal temperature. A fever raises the temperature beyond which certain microbes need to reproduce. A fever also kicks your child's immune system into high gear, spurring the rapid production of bug-clobbering white blood cells. A small but growing body of research shows that letting a fever run its course may reduce the length and severity of such illnesses as colds and flu.

Give her Sudarshan Ghanavati tablets. Give one tablet every two hours till the fever subsides. Then make it to 4 hours, six and 8 hours. Stop when the fever fully stops. It is also available in Kada. But, too bitter and child may not drink. Better give her tablet. Keep the tablet in the middle of the tongue and tell her to swallow. she will not fee the bitterness.

Its probably an adenovirus infection. Give her vitamin supplements - Vitamin A, E and D at 200% recommended daily allowance (RDA), and vitamin C at 100% RDA (and then avoid orange/apple juice).
Basically, apart from trying to boost the immune system with vitamins, there isn't much you can do except wait it out.

Try going back to the doctor.
Hmm, my niece started her period last year. She's nine. Could your daughter be starting puberty? Maybe a check on her hormones might be helpful.
