Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your infant has symptoms of persistent fever which seems to be due to viral infection which is making you prone for infection.

Need not to worry. It is a self limiting condition and it will take 5-7 days to resolve usually. I would suggest you to

- Apply wet cold sheets on your head to lower down body temperature.

- Take combination of antiviral drug along with anti-inflammatory drug.

- Take diet rich in multivitamins and vitamin C.

- Drink plenty of water.

Your symptoms will resolve in 4-5 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit pediatrician once and get some routine blood investigation done and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
