Welcome to healthcare magic
My advice in this situation is to keep record of body temperature of you baby.Give acetominophene (paracetamol) if temperature is above 100°F.Keep your baby clean and well hydrated by appropriate liquid diet like boiled water milk and soups.Viral fever subsides on its own.Considering that it last longer than 72 hours consult your paeds doctor for work up
