How Child Can Recover From Low Grade Fever, Bad Gas And Low Energy?

Hello,I have a two year old that has had a low grade fever all day as well as bad smelling gas (not that gas is supposed to smell good but this one is a different kind of stink). He only ate breakfast and a few bites after that. He has had some juice but not as much as usual. He has been laying around either with myself or his older brother all day. He is not in any pain and is not balling himself into a fetal position but it s just the lack of energy, bad gas and fever. I have given him Tylenol and Motrin for the fever but it isn t going anywhere. Is there anything else I should be doing?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
it seems like your son picked up a pediatric viral illness. You are doing everything correctly regarding the fever. You can expect the fever to last 2 to 3 days before it completely resolved. In addition, make sure he is taking fluids so as not to become dehydrated. Fever control and hydration are the two most important things until the illness resolves.
