my 6 year old daughter started running a fever (101) about 10
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 doesn't 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.
