What Causes Persistent Fever In Children?
my 9 year old son began running a fever on Sunday night. The tylenol would get it down and on Monday morning he said he was better. We sent him to camp but by the time we picked him up his fever was back up and he slept for a couple of hours and all night long. Same thing on Tuesday. The doctor checked him Tuesday and said he did not have strep and that it must be a fever virus - but it is still continuing and today is Thursday.

Hi,
It seems that he might be having viral fever and it takes some time to recover.
Continue giving tylenol as and when required.
Give him plenty of water and keep him well hydrated.
Give him light diet.
If there is no improvement then go for investigation like complete blood testing.
Ok and take care.
