Hi. I have two girls aged 3 and 10. Both are suffering from a viral fever since tuesday i.e. 24th of Aug. The temp went as hifh as 104 for both of them. Today is the 5th day of the infection and they are still having fever, although of lower grade ...99.4. They are on the antibiotic curam. How long would they take to completely recover?
Hi, Are they having any other symptoms apart from fever? Fever without any other symptoms usually indicates viral fever. Most of the time, fever starts coming down by 3rd or 4th day, and will disappear in 5 days. This needs only paracetamol, bed rest, plenty of oral fluids and a soft diet. If they are otherwise active and playful, we need not worry. They will be alright shortly. If fever continues beyond 5 days, kindly get back to your doctor for reassessment. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
