Question

Two weeks after discharge, a follow-up visit revealed unstable body temperature, ranging between 36.4 to 37.2 degrees Celsius, with a feeling of fever in the facial and orbital areas that has persisted for about a month. Chest X-ray results were normal, and the inquiry was about how to handle possible viral infections.

Answer

Viral infections are usually self-limiting, with a course of about one week to ten days. The temperature range you mentioned (36.4 to 37.2 degrees Celsius) falls within the normal range. In children, low fever is typically defined as a body temperature above 37.4 degrees Celsius. Based on the information provided, the body temperature is normal, so I suggest you maintain vigilance and wish you a healthy recovery.
