Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Fever in that age group should be investigated.
You cannot just simply wait and watch?
Are there any associated danger signs?
The danger signs are
1. Poor feeding
2. Vomiting
3. Loss of consciousness
4. Seizures
Please consult a pediatrician immediately for the same.
Continue to ask further queries.
Hope this helps.
Take care.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Any fever at this age needs Paediatric care.
If it is 4 times within a month - the child needs extensive investigations to elucidate a cause.
Blood counts, cultures, x-rays may all be necessary
The degree of fever is a cause for immediate concern / The duration and recurrence reinforce it...
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
