[|AI|]  Hi...what you are describing is quite common in fever. Because of differential blood supply, to the skin, the stomach region and the head and scalp will be very hot and the hands and feet will be cold. During fever the kids will not be eating well. Do not worry. 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 -
