What Causes Persisting Fever?
Hello my daughter is six and started to have a fever yesterday around 3:00pm we are spending this week at the beach. She still has a fever today. It goes from 99.9 to 101.9 but not higher than that. I gave her Tylenol but her temperature goes down to 99.0. Is this fever caused by the sun exposure?

Hi, thank you for posting!
I read your query very carefully and I understand your concerns.
Her symptoms are caused by the complication of a viral infection. In these cases taking a lot of fluids, eating a lot of vegetables and fruits and bed rest are recommended.
To find the diagnosis a physical examination by a pediatrician, a strep test and complete blood count are necessary. An urine test is necessary too.
Take Care.
