Specializes in Pediatrics

See below: Fevers alone without signs of breathing problems, dehydration, behavioral issues, or other severe symptoms are not a worry, unless, the fever lasts more than 5 days straight or is over 105 for your age. Any number of viruses can do this. However, if concerned, see you pcp.
