Most of the fever lasting for 3-4 days is generally due to viral infection..pls do not strt antibiotics unless prescribed by your doctor...anyfever lasting for more than 5 days generally requires investigation and antibiotics..so if it's a recorded temperature on thermometer even if it's monthly dnt wrry unless ur baby does not
play or is sick in between fever episodes or if it exceeds 5 days.
