My 14 yr old daughter has a cough for 5 days now with fever that has been there the entire five days. 102, no other symptoms can it be just a cold?

No: It could be influenza, mycoplasma infection, pneumonia etc. Take her to see her pediatrician.

Yes could be: While it is possible that you could have cold persistent fever over 5 to 7 days is a symptom that does warrant a trip to your doctor.
