Fever in 6 years old boy
Hi , I live in Netherlands, my son is 6 years old. My son started to get low grade fever (99-100f) for 2-3 days, for 2 days he got no fever , after that he started getting very high fever which goes up to 104.4 for 5 days . We consulted our Gp here he said it's a viral and asked me to wait for 6 weeks . My concern is that still every evening he is getting low grade fever. Is it feasible to wait for 6 weeks for further diagnosis.My child is eating and drinking well and is active also but my concern is why he is getting these low grade fever. He has cold and cough also.

You need to get a blood and urine work panel also done if he is getting fever for more than 2 weeks now.
There are few other queries regarding travel history, past medical history, urinary symptoms, fever associated symptoms, cold and cough evaluation etc.
Please book an appointment to discuss further.
