Hi....this seems to be a viral illness with myositis or inflammation of muscles. If your kid is normal in between fever episodes in a single day...I don't think you should worry as its only 3rd day of fever. Danger signs include breathlessness/ rash/ low urine output/ seizures/ unconsciousness/ blood in motion. Don't worry if these are not there & the kid is active. Hope my answer was helpful for you. Happy to help anytime. Further clarifications and consultations on Health Care Magic are welcome.
