🌡️ Fever for less than 5 days? Don’t jump to antibiotics too quickly.

Most short-duration fevers are caused by viral infections and may resolve with proper hydration, rest, and symptomatic treatment. However, warning signs like breathing difficulty, persistent vomiting, severe weakness, confusion, rash, or dehydration need immediate medical attention.

Understanding the duration, associated symptoms, and red flags can help guide the right diagnosis and treatment.
