Our 20 month old developed a fever today of 102 it had went up to 103.6 she has a clear running nose. She had bacterial menegitis when she was three months but was cured with no complications. We worry because of this . She s had a couple of bacterial upper resp infections but antibotics cleared them and she does attend Childcare that is really clean but sees the normal childhood germs
Such symptoms generally occur due to upper respiratory tract infection which is caused by certain viral infections. These viruses are everywhere, and she could indeed get them from the childcare. Some child Chat Doctor.  It is not a cause of concern. Giving steam inhalation and some antiallergic should provide relief. Give paracetamol or Tylenol to bring down the temperature. If the child starts wheezing or becomes lethargic, if the temperature is beyond control, or if the condition lasts more than 7-10 days - you would need to visit a doctor without delay.
