My two year old is on day 2 of a 101 ish fever. She also has a cough and runny nose but I'm worried with the fever if she needs anitbiotics or not.
Thanks!

I have been giving her the Tylenol and it does take the fever down but 4 or so hours later I can feel it creeping back in. She was in much better spirits today so I thought maybe she was getting over the humpa little but before I put her to bed she was feeling warm again. I guess I'll just call to be safe.

you should take her to the dr. immediately, because having a 1o1 ish fever to a 2yrs baby is not normal. im also a mom like you.
when my 2 daughters got sick i give them some paracetamol and if an anti biotic is availble in our house as their dr. prescribed to them ill give them and after that i observed to them if the fever comes back i rushed them to their pedia immediately to find out what the sickness is all about or to find out what is the real cause of having the fever, after the consultation our pedia easily prescribe the proper medication and follow it easily.
so i advice you to take him/her immmediately to your family pedia.
