Fever: The first question I have is: how high is the temperature getting? Are you sure it's a true fever (100.4 or higher)? If yes, and your child has been having a "green snotty nose" for the last 4 weeks, then I would recommend a visit to your pediatricians office where they can get more details about what is going on and do a comprehensive exam of your child.

May need treatment: Recurrent fevers when associated with chronic green nasal discharge is suggestive of an infection that likely needs antibiotics for cure. Your pediatrician can help you sort this out.
