This is the age group when the children frequently fall ill with viral fevers..Viral presents with fever,cough,cold..It takes its own time to subside/recover..Kids otherwise remain relatively active during these episodes.

1) Consult your nearby paediatrician if the fever last for more than 48 hours or there is worsening of the general condition.; to rule out any other cause..
