Does Viral Fever Cause Persistent High Temperature And Red Circles Undereyes?

My daughter (6) has had a high fever since Sunday (5 days) she has lost 3 pounds, is very lethargic, not eating well and now has dark red circles under her eyes. She is negative for influenza, strep and lungs are clear. The doctor said we will have to wait it out. Any ideas? Can a virus last this long?
