<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.my 6 year old daughter started running a fever 101 about 10:30 am. The fever has now risen to 103.4. I have given her 2 doses of children s tylenol. Should I go ahead and continue dosing her through the night if temp is still high, or should I consider taking her to ER now.  <response>: Hello, Looks like viral illness. I will explain to you how a viral illness behaves so that you can be more confident. Fever of a 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 two fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably a viral illness and it doesnt require antibiotics at all. Once the viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about the duration of the kid is active. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
