Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



Your doctor is right in telling that it is seasonal change induced recurrent viral illness. I will explain you how a viral illness behaves - so that you can be more confident. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well 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 there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active. Paracetamol can be given every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.



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