2 yo was drinking in bed. he cough, spit up & swallow. he coughed a few times today & has cold. if gets fever how do if know from cold or aspiration?

Fever from cold: It is unlikely that a normal 2 year old child aspirates and develops pneumonia with fever, if he has cold, it is more likely that he coughs due to cold and fever is due to cold.
