Aruna it's common with Babies to get fever at this time, if its viral fever then yes at least for 3 or 4 days temperature will go up and down. Make sure you take temperature 2 or 3 hr once and note it down.

Hi<br>
I understand your concern. It is difficult to see the baby suffering. But as he already suffered diarrhea and the immune system must have gone down working overload. So this viral infection again. It takes three days at least to become normal follow your doctor's advice. Don't worry. It will settle down. Keep the baby hydrated. Always give boiled then brought down to room temperature water.
