See doctor again : Most viral illnesses can lead to a fever that lasts 3-5 days. However, it is true that this may still be a viral infection. When fevers last over 14 days, it may be necessary to get blood work done to make sure this is not a bacterial infection (such as Lyme disease or a urinary tract infection), or an autoimmune process.

Most likely a virus: Prolonged fever can be due to a virus for which supportive care is offered( fluids and medicine to reduce fever), other considerations would be a sinus infection and less likely a urine infection. You don't mention you child's age but the source of fever can be more difficult to find in the infant and toddler as they can't report symptoms. If the fver continues you should return to your doctor
