My 7 year old son has had a fever (the highest was 102.4) on and off again for the last 4 days. He also had a head ache, tummy ache and sore throat. He was swabbed for streep yesterday with a negative result. I am assumeing it is some sort of virus, just wondering if and or when I should take him back to the Dr. He currently has a low grade fever of 100.4. Thanks in advance
Welcome to the ChatDoctorI understand your concerns but don't worry. The most likely reason for sucChatDoctorplaints in kids are self limiting viral infections. They just need symptomatic management. It takes a few days for them to completely improve. I would recommend you to start him on acetaminophen for fever episodes and throat pain. Also, start an antihistamine and decongestant such as Chlorpheniramine or fexofenadine. Keep a room humidifier while sleeping if the weather is Chat Doctor.  Hopefully this will help him. Take care
