Fever is a reaction of the body to different pyrogens released during any Infection. Usually temp more than 99 F is taken as fever .
Mostly in children fever is because of viral infections like flu or RSV where the fever is there for 4-5 days but may persist even upto 2 weeks .

hi dear Call a doctor or seek medical care if a baby has a fever and one of the following: The baby is inconsolable, lethargic, or seems very sick. A fever lasts longer than 24 hours in a baby younger than 2 years old without other symptoms. The fever rises above 104°F (40°C).
