Hello. Thank you for your question. Viruses typically last 7-10 days. They usually worsen over the first 3-4 days, stay at the peak for 3-4 days, and resolve over 3-4 days. The fevers can progress the same way so it is probably premature to be concerned about something else. however, if the fever persists beyond 1 week, or new symptoms emerge, I recommend getting rechecked by your pediatrician.
