What Causes Fluctuating Temperature In A Child?
My five year old s temperature has been fluctuating between 99-103 for two days. He eats and is hydrated, but has a congested cough, watery eyes and sometimes a headache and dizziness. I ve been treating his fever with ibuprofen. Should I take him to his pediatrician?

Hello. I just read through your question.
The fever is most likely associated with an infection. It may be either viral or bacterial. Fever that how up to 103 for 2 days or more is worth a check by the doctor, regardless of the associated aymptoms.. Therefore, I recommend consulting with your doctor.
