My granddaughter, age 2 1/2, has had fever now for 4 days. It spikes to 104 which is the highest to normal for a period of 6 hours yesterday.  Now the fever is back to 103.  She has a swollen gland on the on side of her face and has had a rash on her belly for several weeks.  My daughter had her to the Dr. on Monday and was told it was a virus and that it would run its course.......She also has a cough that is horrible at night and her eyes are watery and reddish.  Is there such a virus going around so to speak?
High fever and swollen lymph nodes are mostly due to some viral or bacterial infection for which you can give her some antibiotic preferably moxikind-cv or IFIC after expert advice along with broken junior or tynol-plus for high grade fever. For cough, you can give her syrup bronzed or syrup shaking. Do cold sponging to reduce the temperature of her body.
