Fever: Significant fever (>101) for 5 or more days in a 5 year old is statistically unusual. The list of possibilities is quite long and can range from a simple viral infection to many serious conditions. The place to start is a visit to a good pediatrician for a complete history and thorough physical exam. Carefully chosen imaging/ lab studies may or may not be needed to arrive at the correct dx.
