A fever for a 2-year-old child is typically considered to be a temperature above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit when measured rectally. As long as the temperature doesn't exceed this threshold, it is not considered a fever. It is normal for body temperature to fluctuate slightly throughout the day, so a single measurement of 100.6 degrees Fahrenheit shouldn't be a cause for concern.
