I understand your concern. Viral influenza takes 4 to 7 days to completely settle, so the fever will take another few days to go away. More important is how your baby is feeding, if she is breathing very fast or finding it difficult to breathe. If any of those are present, it is important that you get back to your doctor and request admission if she is breathing too fast or not feeding enough. I would like to know the age of your baby so that I can guide you on how to check her breathing, whether it is faster for her age so that you can take her to the pediatrician if needed. Do let me know her age, about her feeding and breathing pattern(if she's working very hard to breathe with in Chat Doctor. Hope this helps and she gets better soon.
