[|Human|] my son is 7month and he has had a fever for days up to 101.2 but now his okay but concern about his body temperature taken on his armpit. Temp is between 96-97 during the day and drops at during the night to 94-96. Im concern do i need to take him to the doctor? He s all bundle up at night but his temperture is still low.
[|AI|]  Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. 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 -
