A member asked:
18month boy diagnosed with entero and rhino virus with fever 100.8-101.8x 21 days. is it normal for fever to last this long?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Unfortunately fever for enterovirus can last as long as 5 to 7 days. Dehydration is the biggest concern with enterovirus. Although there can be some other complications that you should continue to monitor for your child. I hope they are feeling better shortly.

Not 21 days:: Possibly a week with 1 virus, a week's break, and a week with the second virus, but nor 21 days continuous.
