fever in an infant is always must be assessed , it can be simple like an upper respiratory tract infection , middle ear infection , a Urinary tract infection or can be more serious than that .
so I recommend a full physical exam by her pediatrician to look for hidden infections : otitis media , pnemunoina and UTI .
I hope she doesn't have any of the above mentioned .
I hope this helps
