Needs an examination: It's alway a good idea to have a young child of 2 years old evaluated for a fever even though she's ok during the day. While it's likely to be a temporary viral source of fever, 2 year olds are prone to ear infections(otitis media) and urinary tract infections....especially if the fever is 39C (102.2F) or greater rectally.
