14 month old had fever of 100-102 for 8 days with cough and congestion. dr. said viral on day 5. should i take her to the doctor again tomorrow?

Yes: 8 days with high fever is concerning for an 1-y/o infant. Your baby might have a complications of common cold such as a viral pneumonia. I would recommend a chest x-ray and blood work. Visit your doctor again or nearest pediatric er for an evaluation.
