A member asked:
How long does the viral fever last in an year old & what's the maximum alarming temperature which needs immediate doctor attention?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See answer details: The length of fever depends to some extent on the virus involved. 4-5 days is a reasonable estimate. It never hurts to touch base with your pediatrician for temps 101 and above.
