Resa,
My 15 year old was like that when he was little. He wouldn't have any other symptoms....just fever and it was HIGH!!! And, it was just a virus. He got this same thing every January for about 5 years.
Here's something to remember (but you probably already know this so sorry if it's repetitive): when you are trying to bring down the fever with wash cloths and other things, don't do it too fast or they will shiver. Shivering brings body temps up, so it will make a fever higher.
We also have had the bloody noses. I can't remember where you live; is it cold there? Usually the bloody noses come from real dry air. Do you have a humidifier? When it's really cold outside and the heat is running real high, I usually have a small humidifier in each bedroom running overnight, and during the day (when we're home) I have a kettle of water or broth or soup on to replace some of the moisture in the air. If you don't have a humidifier, you can set a bread pan with water in it on top of the radiator---that helps a little also.
You're doing great! Sorry she's sick, and hope she's feeling better really soon!
