Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. Thank you for your question. The most common diagnosis in pediatric patients with this history is viral illness. These usually worsen for the first 2-3 days, then gradually resolve on their own. However, in this case, where the fever has persisted for 5 days, there is a possibility that this is a bacterial infection. If that is so, antibiotic may be required in order to cure the illness. For this reason, I recommend you consult with your doctor. Then the correct diagnosis can be made and the appropriate treatment plan implemented.
