Unlikely: Your 2 year old may have a virus in his system. Keep him hydrated. If the fever or vomiting persist or he develops new symptoms have him seen by your Doctor.

See a pediatrician: Could be simple stomach flu, teething, etc.. However, fever 38.5C is required visit to the pediatrician for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Hope it helps.

May not be teething : Teething symptoms usually are low grade fever less than 101 degrees Fahrenheit with fussiness and decrease oral intake. If you 2 year old persists to have fever more than 102 degrees Fahrenheit with vomiting for more that 24-48 hours, she needs medical attention to rule out other causes.

No, not teething: Teething does not cause vomiting. Something else is going on. If this doesn't resolve in the next few days or if symptoms worsen, then take them to the pediatrician.
