So, my 2 year old is sick with what appears to be a cold. A few weeks ago he had a cold with a low grade fever for one day. He never seemed to feel too bad. Then last week he was cold free. He did have a cough last week, but it was dry cough and i am 99% sure it is from our house being too dry. I was coughing like it too and do not feel sick at all. Anyway, after his week break he got sick again with another cold. Although this time he had a fever yesterday and today, but again low grade. And he woke up this morning without the fever when the fever reducer should have worn out a while ago. The fever today did not kick in until 11:30. I know many of you will tell me to call his doctor and i'm sure i will if he wakes up tomorrow like he was today, but i just know so many doctors are like here it is a sinus infection have an antibotic. Kind of annoying.

I wanted to add, that he got lots of viruses last year and his ped said that it is common to get another viruses after one is finished when they are so young. And my son still puts EVERYTHING in his mouth

Okay, buy a humidifier for his room and keep it at bedside, it'll help with the dryness in the house and the coughing. Also, don't forget that they do teethe at this age as well, he could be having oral problems in this area.
If it persists or becomes worse, absolutely take him to the doctor or at least consult the phone nurse. Call your doctor's office and ask to speak with his nurse, tell her what's going on and she may be able to consult with him and call something in.
Good luck, I hope he's okay!
