Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. Fever usually indicates infection. You have not mentioned the symptoms associated with the fever. Many of the children of such an age suffer from respiratory tract infections. These are generally viral infections and where antibiotics are not likely to be effective. These conditions resolve spontaneously in 5-10 days and probably that is what you are talking about. Many children may have enlarged tonsils with a tendency to have recurrent infections. With age the frequency of such infections generally comes down.

The fever has to be kept in control by the use of medicines like paracetamol or cold sponging.

Hope that will adequately address your query. Feel free to communicate back in case of further queries if any.
