[|Human|] Hi, My wife and kid has joined me in germany last month. My kid is 10 months/ 9.2 kg boy. He is now suffering with high temperature be 101- 104 F and shivering from yesterday morning.he s normal with no cold, diarrhea. He drinks mother milk n takes little solid.currently giving him lukewarm sponge bath for his head. Kindly advise further. How long will the fever take to subside
[|AI|]  Hi.... 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 -
