A member asked:

What does a recurring fever, every couple of days, for over a week, mean in a child?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: What other symptoms does the child have, how old is the child, how high the fever, is it really fever, etc.? If this keeps up, have your family doctor or pediatrician see the child.

Dr Villaplana and 3 doctors agreed
