5 year old daughter has had recurring (high) fevers and stomach ache for the last few months. It will lasts about 3-4 days then go away for a while (every 2 weeks to a month) then return. My pediatrician thinks it s just a virus but it seems odd. None of my other children ever get these symptoms. Just concerned...
HI... I feel it could be been recurrent viral illness going on in your kid. To put your mind at ease, I will tell you certain facts about viral infection. 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 -
