Virus 14 days: Virus infections can last up to 14 days. Good things: temperature improving overall, able to deep fluids down, making wet diapers 4-6 times a day, breathing okay, seems alert. Not much to do other than give comfort, watch for warning signs, and lots of tlc. Good luck!

Not unusual: Summer viruses are sometimes rather severe. Most of these adenoviruses and coxsacie viruses cause fever, oral ulcerations and prostration and may last up to a week. If the child is consolable, taking fluids, urinating light urine, and has no major warning signs, then symptomatic treatment and observation is what is needed.
