Suggest Treatment For High Fever In A 2 Year Old Boy

My 2 year old son has been having a fever but seems to be only at night. He had a fever that got up to 103 on Tuesday night. On Wednesday morning he went to see his pediatrician who said he had no signs of the flu and just to keep an eye on him but that he seemed ok. His fever went away during the day. Wednesday night during his bedtime his fever went back up to 101.6. Then again went back to normal this morning. He acts ok during the day but his cheeks are red during the day but when he gets tired and ready for nap time he begins to get warm again and his temperature goes back up. Is this a sign of some kind of infection?

Hello
I have gone through your question..
I need some more details like whether the baby has any chills and rigors,
How is the cry, hydration status, etc.
From the information you have provided it seems to be some kind of simple viral fever
It doesn't need any special medication
If you still don't want to have any temperature
1. do cold sponging as and when necessary
2. use paracetamol drops /syrup.
If the fever still persists necessary workup has to be done and give treatment accordingly.
I find this answer helpful
