A member asked:

20 month old caught a virus (persistent cough) from family members in his house. but he has had a fever of 101 for 5 straight days. should we worry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not particularly: A low grade fever during a simple virus is often present for the duration. Many last a week or longer. As long as the kid takes fluids well enough to pee every 6 hours, plays some & appears stable, it can be monitored at home.
