General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, thanks for posting on HCM.
All the symptoms described by you can point towards presence of urinary tract infection. Fever, burning during urination and feeling of tiredness suggest it could be UTI.
Or it could be only flu with features of dehydration (which is seen in viral infection) and thus causes burning urination problem.
I would suggest you keep him well hydrated all the time with lots of fluids, water, soups and all. And he should be able to pass urine without burning sensation.
If with this also the burning does not come down, kindly get a urine examination done and watch for presence of pus cells or bacteria. If yes consult your doctor for the same as he may need antibiotics for the same.
I hope I have helped you answer your query.
Thank you
