I just gave my 2yo hylands 4kids night time cold and cough. it's homeopathic. can i give ibuprofen at the same time as she's having a 100.9 fever.

Yes...but: I wouldn't use either. Studies have shown little or no benefit to kids under 6 of cough/cold preparations & the pattern of "meds for anything" sets the kid up to self medicate . Thousands of ER visits/yr follow self medication overdoses. Low grade temperature does not hurt the kid. As a natural response it can even shorten the illness. Use if you feel you must do something, but I wouldn't for mine
