my 6 year old son has a low grade fever between 100 - 101.8 for 5 days now and his breath has a horrible smell and he complains of a stomach ache around the belly button. Not sure what is wrong with him. he has a runny nose and a cough I do breathing treatments when needed.
Hello. I just read through your question. The most likely diagnosis is a harmless viral illness. These typically resolve kn their own after 7-10 days. However, the fever will usually resolve after 2-3 days. Because of the prolonged fever, I recommend consulting with your doctor, so the correct diagnosis can be made. If it is determined that breathing treatments are necessary, then you can go ahead and do it. Until then, I recommend waiting until an exam.
