As fever is there a bone marrow test should be done before a trial of steroids. Do let me know whether he has received any transfusions? Your pediatrician can better assess and refer to a hematologist/oncologist. I would recommend Children Hospital Lahore, Department of Pediatric Haematology & Oncology. Thanks.

I just saw you are from Saudi Arabia. Please consult a hematologist there.
