Could Persistent Fever In A 8 Year Old Be A Matter Of Concern?

My eight year old has had a low grade fever for three days. The first day she was very tired and achy, the second day tired and today she has a bit of a cough but says she feels fine but the fever is still there. Is there cause for concern? Should she go back to school tomorrow with a low grade fever?

Hello. I read your query.
Your daughter might be suffering from Viral fever which generally takes 3-5 days to go completely. I would suggest you to giver her antipyretic drug...whichever you are giving.
Please don't let her go to school. She will get even more exhausted on doing exertions. Let her take complete rest. She will be fine soon.
Give her plenty of fluids. Keep her hydrated.
Light food to eat so that it can be easily digested.

I hope this helps you. Wish her speedy recovery.
