If I were you, I would take him to urgent care. Being that he is two years old and this has been going on for 4 days. Also try giving him pedialyte. It has electrolytes, which he needs. This will rehydrate him.
I also have a two year old, and if it were me I would take him in.

Please, just take him to the ER.

Anytime a fever lasts that long, its time to visit the doc, either through urgent care, er, doc office.

Your family doctor in the morning or a local urgent care. As a mother you should know where the nearest two urgent care is and their hours, They are good, you get seen fast and they are much cheaper than a ER.
