Fever is commonly seen in babies and mostly it's viral infection which is very common in children.
But if fever is high grade and persisting or assosiated with specific symptoms than other causes should also be ruled out .
Antipyretic like paracetamol or ibuprofen or mefenamic acid are usually given to reduce fever . Cold sponging with lukewarm water is also helpful .
Doctor consultation should be done if symptoms like excessive irritability dullness loss of appetite less urine output is there .

Fever cough cold is fairly common, yes. Recurrent fever cough and cold needs evaluation. If your toddler is eating well and playful symptomatic treatment can be given. If not eating well or not playful, needs evaluation with a consultation.
