How.long can a fever last?
My child has had a fever for two days now and I'm getting a little worried. It's not super high, but it's persistent. How long can a fever typically last before it becomes a concern?

Oh, fever can be so worrying, especially with kids. For my children, usually, a viral fever lasts 3-5 days. If it goes beyond that or is very high, I immediately take them to the paediatrician. Hydration and rest are key, but always monitor closely.
Long enough to ruin your weekend plans and make you question all your life choices! Haha. Seriously though, common fevers usually go away in 3-5 days. If it's still there after a week, or if it's very high, then it's time to call the doctor, not just complain to your wife.
Oh, a fever can be quite draining. Most common viral fevers last for about 3 to 5 days. I've tried many remedies like tulsi kaadha and keeping forehead cool. But if the fever continues for more than a week, or is very high with chills, it's really important to see a doctor. Don't delay a proper diagnosis.
Typically, a viral fever subsides within 3 to 7 days. I've seen it many times. If it persists longer than that, or if the fever is very high (above 103F) or accompanied by other severe symptoms, that's a clear signal to visit the doctor. Don't just wait it out if it feels serious.

From my experience with seasonal fevers, they usually last for about 3-4 days, max a week. If it's still going strong after a week, or if you feel really weak and have other symptoms, it's better to consult a doctor. Staying hydrated and resting helps a lot.
