What Causes Persistent Low Grade Fever In A Child?

My child who is 4yrs 3 month is continuously having fever (temp 99 to 100). The doctor has prescribed him bacigyl-n. Initially he had diarrhea passing green stool and vommiting. Now that has stopped but the child is still having fever though not going above 100. I am quite worried is there something wrong with my child?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi, initially your child had fever and loose stools but now there are no loose stools and fever is below 100 degree fahrenheit. With his suggest that your child is improving, fever is defined as when temperature of body increases above 100 Fahrenheit. If it remains below 100 Fahrenheit then its normal. I think you should continue the same treatment, if fever increases above or loose stools occur then you should get the giant Re examine by doctor. In that case antibiotic needs to be started. Take care.
