Brief Answer:
Might be viral fever, need not worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to Ask A Doctor service
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
A previously normal child developing fever all of a sudden without any other symptoms usually suggests an acute viral illness.
As he is otherwise active and feeding well, nothing to worry. He will be alright in 48-72 hours.
Till then, you can give him Paracetamol suspension 3-4 times daily(every 6-8 hours). If you tell me weight of the child, I can give the exact dosing.
If fever persists beyond 72 hours, fresh symptoms appear, or if he becomes dull and refuses to feed, let me know.
Regards, Dr Aslam
