Hello and welcome to HCM,
Fever is a single symptom in infants which accompanied large number of disorders in infants.
A clinical assessment of all organ systems is required to find out the cause of infection.
As you have mentioned that your baby suffered from pneumonia, there is a possibility that the pneumonia has re-cured.
I suggest you to consult your pediatrician for clinical assessment and investigations
Thanks and take care
