Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Children in that age group may have recurrent fever and the frequency is higher than in adults because of their low immunity.
If all the investigations are normal and your doctor is reassuring you the you need not worry. But the frequency is very high (say more than twice a month or so) then you should get a second opinion.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
