Hello,

It is unusual for a teenager to have fever ever day for more than 2-4 days. He should be seen by another doctor. Some possibilities include regular viruses for which reassurance can be given - that will resolve with time. For instance, mononucleosis can cause this. But other things need to be checked - for instance COVID, malaria, Kawasaki's syndrome - all depending on where you live and what other symptoms your brother may have.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lisa Baker, Pediatrician
