My son got fever 38.8 f around two times in last two weeks doc done some chest x-ray all good so what should we do he is 4yrs old?

Fever is not harmful: Most fevers are from viral infections that go away by themselves. Any temperature over 38 that last more than 3 days should be rechecked by your physician. The thing to be worried about is not the fever but what is causing the fever.
