Hi...this looks like viral illness with peripheral vasoconstriction due to high fever. 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. But if this recurs or if the urine output is falling down or has poor oral intake - I suggest you take him to the nearest emergency room immediately. Regards -
