A member asked:
My son had a fever of 101, it came on suddenly but was gone the next day & he felt great. what could cause such a quick fever? is it common in kids?

Very common: If he feels great, then it is likely he has nothing serious. Viruses can give fever for a day or longer. The single most important thing is he seems well, is acting well.
