Common: A febrile viral illness in a kid is seldom gone overnight.Most last 3-5 days and a few last up to a week .Keep track of the kids fluid intake and activity.If he takes fluids okay and plays some, you can monitor this for a few days. If he is stable for a while but seems to get worse = activity and fluid intake declines it may be changing into something else.Then a recheck would be needed.
