Hello,

Fever and cough can happen quite often in children especially if they are in day care and in contact with many other children.
If the fever lasts less then 3-4 days and the child recovers well within a week from the symptoms it means that the child is having a good reaction and is healthy.
If the fevers last longer then 3-4 days, the child seems very sick or needs hospital admissions then important conditions like cystic fibrosis or conditions that might effect the heart or the immune system might be considered.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
