What Causes High Grade Fever And Chest Congestion?

My 3 year old daughter has had a fever of at least 101 but mostly 102 and up to a little over 104 for over 48 hours. She also seems to have some chest congestion. What could this be? Also, big brother who is 8 was recently diagnosised with mono, could she also have mono but having more severe symptoms, or do you think it could be pneumonia, or strep throat?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, yes it is most likely that your daughter has mono as the elder sibling had it. it is contagious. you should see a doctor who will examine your child and will rule out the other two conditions.
