My 4 year old son has fever once a month or every other month.Not always other symptoms.

Hi! My 4 year old son has had recurrent fever since i can remember. Ever since he could walk around. He just turned 4. He has never been in daycare, however; we do go out in public everyday. I have a teenager, so we are on the go. He usually gets fever maybe once a month, or once every other month. He's doing well if it has been any longer than that between fevers. last month, he did have a cough/cold he caught from my mother who keeps him sometimes. Today, a month later and a week, he got 101 fever again, and complains of a headache. usually, he doesn't have any other symptoms,unless it 's a headache. His temp. is usually 101- 102.5. More often, just 101- 101.5. It normally lasts about 2 days, then hes perfectly fine!. He does eat well now. He even request vegetables and eats them. He usually takes a vitamin now as well. We are great handwashers too. He or I washes his hands everywhere we go.And, we always wash when we get home. I am so very careful. i don't get it. He does touch alot of things in public  though, before we can get to a sink! Anytime I have taken to his Doctor, he says it's a virus. He's never had strep or an ear infection or anything bad. i am worried now, as it has just been too often i think all together.Please help!
