Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. It is very common for kids to have recurrent fever and cough and cold when they start going to creche and start mingling with other kids. Usually, these are viral illnesses and will settle down by themselves with symptomatic treatment with oral Paracetamol. I will explain to you how a viral illness behaves so that you will be more confident. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could be a viral illness. Usually, rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn t require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will be there for 4 to 7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Sumanth Amperayani
