Why Is My Child Getting Fevers For 5 Days In Every Month?
My 20 month old son has had three fevers in a two month time span-one for five days, one one day, and one for four days with no other symptoms. He has a loss of appetite also he has lost over four pounds in two months. I am starting to get worried. What do you think I should do?
