General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Very likely, if the fever lasted less than 4-5 days, it was due to a self-limiting condition such as a viral infection.

During such episodes, it is important to keep her well hydrated and give Motrin regularly every 6 hours to help keep the fever under control.

If the child is less active than usual or is sleepy, is not eating or drinking well or the fever lasts for more than 4-5 days a visit with the doctor is needed.

I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.

Regards,
