There are some viruses put there that takes a while to go away. It's usually not too bad as long your baby is not lethargic and can still retain fluids. But I would bring my kid to the doctor again if the fever persists past 5 days. If it is a bacteria infection the doc will need to give antibiotics for treatment. If its influenza ( which can cause fever for a week or so), at least the doc can check the kid to make sure the lungs are OK. It's tough when you're a ftm for sure, hope your baby recovers soon!
