Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.

Yes you should visit the doctor if the fever persists. You should also visit the doctor if there are any danger signs.

Please monitor for danger signs. The danger signs are
1. Poor feeding and repeated vomiting.
2. Lethargy.
3. Loss of consciousness.
4. Fits or seizures.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
