2yr old with low grade fever 100.6 for 4 days? cough! runny nose! common cold? nothing to worry about?

Probably...: ...But if the fevers continue for longer than a week and are rising, if something changes like difficulty breathing, vomiting, or pain, then he needs to be seen by his doctor. Keep him really well hydrated, and beyond that supportive care (rest, fluids, etc.) is usually enough.
