HELLO
YOUR BOY MUST BE SUFFERING FROM SOME INFECTION THAT HAS CAUSED SO HIGH FEVER. EVEN IF HE IS RELIEVED NOW I WOULD SUGGEST YOU TO VISIT A GENERAL PHYSICIAN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.. FEVER ALSO CAUSES BODY ACHE..
HE SHOULD BE GIVEN A FULL COURSE OF ANTIBIOTICS AND ANTI PYERETICS AFTER TESTING THE INFECTION.. TO SLOW DOWN THE FEVER YOU GIVE COLD SPONGE BATH TO YOU CHILD.. ASK HIM TO TAKE PLENTY OF FLUIDS AND WATER AS WELL .. ALSO TAKE CARE OF HIS DIET AND AVOID SPICY AND FATTY FOOD..
GIVE HIM SOME NUTRITIOUS AND EASILY DIGESTIBLE MEAL.. I WOULD SUGGEST YOU NOT TO IGNORE SUCH FEVER..AND CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR..
THANK YOU.. HOPE IT HELPS
