Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

Discharge from the eye could be because of infection. There could be other causes for discharge from the eye. A child with viral cold can also have discharge from the eye.

Treatment for fever depends on the cause of the fever.

Is there any cough or burning urination or increased frequency of urination or sore throat etc.?
These symptoms can give a clue to the cause of that fever which could be respiratory or urinary infection etc.

Continue to ask further queries.
Hope this helps.
Take care.

Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Muco purulent conjuctivitis is the main reason of yellowish discharge from eyes early in the morning.
Fever may be due to infection.
Fever causes leg cramps, headache , general weakness.
Consult a paediatrician and get his opinion for fever.
Good luck.
