FEVER: Fever at this age is mostly bc of viral infection, resolves in 3-7 days. Associated symptoms may be cold, cough, runny nose, etc. When fever goes 101f or above, give acetaminophen/tylenol 4-6 hourly (10 to 15 mg/kg/dose). Make sure she drinks enough fluid. If she is behaving well, not to worry. If any worsening, check with her pediatrician.
