5 Year Old Child, Recurring Fever. Suggestions?
My grandson is 5 years old and has been running a high temp off and on for the last 2 months, sometimes up to 104 and when they take him to the doctor they say it is viral., He has done this 3 times in the last 2 months. This does not seem normal to me. Could you give me some advice about this. I am really getting worried that it may be something serious. Minnette Morgan YYYY@YYYY
