[|Human|] My 4 year old has run a fever varying from 99.5 to 103 for a week. Two days ago the doctor said it was probably viral, but it should clear up. I was under the impression viruses lasted many five days. He has no other symptoms besides heavy night sweats.
[|AI|]  Hi... If your kid is normal in between fever episodes in a single day... I don't think you should worry. Danger signs include breathlessness/ rash/ low urine output/ seizures/ unconsciousness/ blood in motion. Don't worry if these are not there & the kid is active. But with 1 week fever, I wouldn't still be considering viral. I would do a blood culture and basic blood workup and start on antibiotic like Definite which I would prefer in consideration to typhoid fever. Regards -
