Kids are resilient, a fever tends to build and peak during the evening as you become more tired and at night often it will be that you are a little more rested, and the fever will "break". You get to the Dr. for the am appt. and it is barely or not present. That help, brother.
This is very common, but never ignore a fever, better safe than sorry!
Kids often pick up many 24-48 hr viruses that one can only treat, as antibiotics will not help. This is part of them building their immune system.

Don't think anyone will be able to say it better than that. Relax but go the doc's anyway.
mine are 4 and 6. I could double my cigar stash with high-end cigars with the amount of co-pays we pay every year. This fall I am going to run an experiment -- fever shows up, I am going have my wife and kids sitting in the room with me so they can hear, I'll dial some random number, when the stranger answers, I'll tell them all about the fever, set an appointment for the next day, and bet that the fever is gone the next morning ................ LOL
And I have a 9 year old. STILL happens. He was very sick back in March. His fever was up to 105.0. During the AM hours it was almost normal. Come night time, that evil hotness was slowly coming back. As his Ped told me, children's fevers are different then adults. I was up round the clock with him giving him Tylenol AND Motrin. Plus had a new born in the house. Had to make sure myself or the baby didn't catch it. IT SUCKED!
