How long should i wait to take 2 yo to dr with low grade fever:cough? mild cold for few days first then low grade fever x 3 days. no trouble breathing

It depends: Your child should see a doctor if he has a fever over 101 for more than a couple of days, or if he is acting particularly sick, even when the fever is down. If you are worried, if your child is acting quite different than usual, it's better to get him checked by the doctor. If you get the fever down and your child is playful, eats or drinks, you may worry less.
