Fever with cold in a 2-year-old is very common, and in most cases it is due to a viral infection. Usually it settles in 3–5 days with supportive care.
What You Can Do at Home
1) Fever control
Give Paracetamol 15 mg/kg per dose
Can repeat every 6 hours if needed
Do not exceed 4–5 doses in 24 hours
(Example: If child weighs 12 kg → dose ≈ 180 mg per dose)
Avoid giving multiple fever medicines together unless advised.
2) For Cold
Saline nasal drops 3–4 times daily
Steam inhalation (mild, supervised)
Keep child well hydrated
Continue normal diet and breastfeeding if applicable
3) General Care
Light clothing
Lukewarm sponging if fever is high
Ensure good fluid intake
**See a Doctor Immediately If:
Fever > 102°F and not reducing
Breathing fast or chest retractions
Continuous vomiting
Child very dull / not responding
Convulsions
Fever lasting more than 3–4 days
Next Steps
Most viral fevers improve on their own. Fever itself is not harmful — it is the body fighting infection.
If you tell me:
Current temperature?
Weight of child?
Any cough or breathing difficulty?
I can guide you more specifically.
