What Causes A Temperature Of 106 In A 2 Year Old?

what can happen if a 2 year old has a temp of 106.9? so my niece is two years old and at 4:00 she had a temp of 106.9. her weight is about 32 lbs. we took her to the er and they said she has an ear infection and she also has mrsa bump on the inside of her upper leg. what can happen when her temp gets that high? what can we do to make her feel better? we jus check her about 45 mins ago and she has a temp still and is hot but she says she is cold and she is shaking. we are starting to get worried and dont know what to do next. we have to force the meds down her. and she has not ate alot today besides fries. and will not drink much either all we can get her to drink is cola and some milk

Hi,
If this much temperature is there she might get febrile convulsion any time so by all means fever should bring down.
It is advisable to admit in the hospital and vigorous treatment should be started.
Along with fever reducing medicine apply ice pack on forehead and abdomen.
Keep him well hydrated with plenty of water and liquids.
Ok and take care.
