POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. Yes, viral fever in babies can last up to a week. In most cases, viral fevers last 3 to 7 days, depending on the virus causing the illness. Common symptoms, in addition to fever, may include:
Runny nose or congestion
Cough
Diarrhea or vomiting
Fatigue
Reduced appetite
While most viral fevers resolve on their own, it's important to monitor your baby for any signs of worsening or prolonged symptoms. You should consult a doctor if:
The fever lasts more than 5-7 days.
The fever is very high (above 102°F or 39°C).
Your baby is younger than 3 months and has a fever over 100.4°F (38°C).
There are signs of dehydration (reduced urine output, dry mouth).
Your baby is unusually irritable, lethargic, or has difficulty breathing.
Keep your baby hydrated and comfortable during the fever, and give fever-reducing medications (like paracetamol) if recommended by your doctor.
