Hello, By what you say I really that your kid is going through a viral illness. I will explain to you how a 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 a viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once the viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about the duration if the kid is active. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
