What Causes Cold, Fever With Head Sweat During Sleeping?

Hi my 6 months old daughter is getting over a cold that she has had for a week now after going to daycare for 3 days days. Before she had a temp of 101.4 - 100.3. Now she is waking out of her sleep with sweat on her head but the rest of her body is cold to the touch. What could be wrong with her??

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
HI..I feel she might be having a viral cold or illness. Once viral illness starts it might be there for 4-5 days. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in children. For cold you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do.
