Hi... By what you quote I think your kid is having a viral illness. YOU HAVE GIVEN THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT IN CLINCHING THE DIAGNOSIS OF VIRAL ILLNESS - THAT IS - once he has been given the European he ok plays eats but after 6-7 hours he starts running temp. This is how a viral illness behaves. Will tell you about viral illness so that you can be rest assured. 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. Regards -
