A fever this high in a baby can be serious. If the doctor suggested hospital admission, it is best to follow that advice. Children can deteriorate quickly and early treatment in hospital helps control infection and dehydration.

Take a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT (CBC) Test or Take a COMPLETE URINE EXAMINATION (CUE) Test

I am suffering from stomach ache since 29 May morning and I got mild fever on 29 May evening. Both my fever and stomach ache come and go. The maximum fever recorded till now is 99.6 F. I also had a small episode of loose motion but that is now settled. My blood report is normal. Please guide what could be the reason and if it can be COVID?
