Hello, By what you say I feel that your grandchild maybe having a recurrent viral illness which is extremely common in this season. I will explain to you how are viral illness behaves so that you can be more confident. Fever of a few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Apart from this, some viruses affecting the lower respiratory tract might be causing some wheezing also from which usually child Chat Doctor.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
