Since the fever has continued for five days and it is now the timeframe your doctor mentioned, the best next step is to proceed with the recommended blood tests today. These tests will provide valuable information to help guide his care. Please contact your pediatrician's office right away to coordinate the tests and share an update. In the meantime, keep him comfortable, offer plenty of fluids, and continue using paracetamol as directed for comfort.
