HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can under your concern what ever you are doing is okay but along with this he needs some medicine too, you can try some NSAID (Non steroid anti-inflammatory drug) and the Ibuprofen 400 mg is the best choice if he is running with fever then acetaminophen can be added with this have nice day.
