Viral?: Fever itself is never an evil "symptom." it is a sign of an infection that if fully vaccinated-may be a virus (vs bact.) that will improve with"comfort" care and support. Numbers on a thermometer are not as important as associated symptoms/comfort and severity/duration. You may watch and wait for your toddler-offer meds if he tolerates/needs it. Follow up with your pediatrician if things worsen.
