Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child has symptoms of runny nose and fever which is due to inflammation and blockage of sinuses leading to upper respiratory tract infection. It could be due to coinfection and impaired immunity as well.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once . You should get blood tests and culture of sinuses done which can help in correct diagnosis. You should get X-ray chest done along with allergy test to find out exact cause and start treatment. You should complete course of treatment of antibiotics along with combination of anti inflammatory medication. Avoid taking outside food.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
