I have a 2 year old daughter whos had a fever for about 4 days now. The fever stays anywhere between 100-103. She has been falling asleep just about anywhere and starts to breathe slowly. I try to wake her up but she wont budge she just lays theres. Shell wake up a few hours later just fine like nothing has happend. Whats wrong?
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Regards -
