Bronchitis and fever
Hello, my 2 year old baby had fever and throat pain for 2.5 day( we give ibuprofen fever goes off and again comes back after 8 to 10 hr for those 2.5 day). Then fever was gone for the rest of the third day without any medicine. But next day (4th day) he started coughing and sneezin a lot. We took him to doctor in evening who said he got bronchitis. There was no visible breathing distress. Dr gave him puff and told us to also do at home 3 times a day. But after 2 hours of returning from doctor he got fever 101.5 (at night 10 pm). We gave ibuprofen. Fever came down. But again after 6 hour fever is back. Is it something serious? My main concern is fever went off more than 24 hour. Now again it is back.

Looks like respiratory infection. But if you use medicine it should come down gradually in 3 days time. Have faith in the doctor continue medication and general care for fever and report back if you find anything not usual.

Greetings
coughing, sneezing, and a recent clinical diagnosis of bronchitis.This returning pattern is consistent with "double sickening," which often happens when a secondary bacterial infection like pneumonia develops right after a viral respiratory illness.Other possibilities for a return of fever in a toddler include a brand-new, separate viral infection, or a localized complication such as a middle ear infection.Because a returning high fever can be a warning sign of a worsening respiratory condition, you should contact your pediatrician promptly for a re-evaluation.

The return of fever after a fever-free period of 24 hours can be worrying for parents, but it does not necessarily mean something serious. In many viral respiratory infections, new symptoms such as cough and runny nose can appear as the illness evolves, and fever may recur for a day or two.
If your child is otherwise active, drinking fluids well, breathing comfortably, and the fever responds to ibuprofen/paracetamol, observation is reasonable. Continue the inhaler/puff treatment as advised by your doctor.
However, if fever persists beyond another 48–72 hours, rises very high, your child develops breathing difficulty, poor feeding, lethargy, or appears unusually unwell, he should be re-evaluated by his pediatrician.
