As a medical professional, I understand the concern about the duration of a fever. The length of time a fever lasts can vary greatly depending on the cause. For a simple viral infection, a fever may last anywhere from a few hours to several days. If the fever is due to a bacterial infection, it may persist until the appropriate antibiotics are administered and can take additional days to subside after treatment begins. It's important to monitor the fever and seek medical advice if it lasts for more than three days, is accompanied by severe symptoms, or if it's particularly high (over 104°F or 40°C in adults).

The type of infection causing the fever usually determines how often the fever recurs and how long the fever lasts. Fevers due to viruses can last for as little as two to three days and sometime as long as two weeks. A fever caused by a bacterial infection may continue until the child is treated with an antibiotic.
