Brief Answer:
Not a cause for concern.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through the details and understand your concern. Most often such symptoms are due to viral infections. Irrespective of use of antibiotics, it usually spontaneously resolves in 5-7 days. Since your child is otherwise active and playful, I would not be concerned with the intermittent rise of temperature.
If your child has fever with temperature more than 100°F, you need to give fevago (paracetamol) to bring down. Also use tepid sponging.
Giving steam inhalation to your child helps in reducing the congestion. Please be patient, it should spontaneously resolve in a few days.
Hopefully that would help. Feel free to write back in case of further queries.
