Hi, Does he have any other symptoms like cough, nasal discharge, throat pain, ear ache or abdominal pain? Recent onset fever usually indicates an infection somewhere in the body. If no associated symptoms as mentioned above, this may be a viral fever which needs only paracetamol, plenty of fluids and bed rest for few days. If fever is not coming down by 4th or 5th day, or he is lethargic, we need to investigate to find out the cause. In such cases, after examining throat and ear. I used to order a blood routine test, urine microscopy and ESR/CRP to decide further. Your doctor will guide YouTube care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
