My 3yo son had runny nose early today. should i wake him up if i feel he has fever?

Let him sleep: Fever is the body's way of fighting infection. It is not harmful to your child. If he has a runny nose, he is probably coming down with a viral URI. One of the most important things his body needs while he is sick is sleep. So, if he is asleep, leave him asleep! If he wakes up with a fever or seems uncomfortable, then you can give him some fever reducer.
