My daughter 1 year10 months had a fever since 3 days and her fever reaches to 39.5 c when i give her a medicine its not going down it reaches 38 then goes up..the doctor said virus but not convinced
Currently there is an abundance of viruses that are circulating in the community. These usually cause high-grade fever, with or without symptoms (like a runny nose, cough, diarrhea). The fever is expected to last between 3-5 days, after which the spikes in temperature should start to space out (meaning that the time period between one episode of high grade fever and another grows longer), then the degree of temperature itself starts to drop. This may or may not be accompanied with a mild rash.
In any case, a direct assessment (by taking a more detailed history of the symptoms plus performing a thorough physical examination) is necessary to make a judgment regarding the nature of the infection (viral versus bacterial). I advise you to follow up with your daughter's pediatrician.

Annual Checkup
It is recommended that all individuals see a Family Doctor for a full medical examination annually. Adults should get their blood pressure checked (US Preventive Task Force), a flu vaccine (CDC) and more each year.
The American Dental Association recommends dental cleanings for adults at least twice annually. Some stains can only be removed by a professional cleaning.
It’s recommended by the American Academy of Ophthalmology that every adult between the ages of 18 and 80 does an eye examination at least once every two years.
It's recommended by the American Cancer Association that every adult between the age of 20 and 80 does an annual skin screening by a licensed dermatologist.
