yes it is fever. you need proper dosage of paracetamol for it.
its most likely a Viral infection which will subside with proper treatment.
No antibiotics required right now
advise-Bed rest
Plenty of fluids (Most important)
Cold sponging
Semi solid food
Watch for any sign of bleeding from nose/mouth/in stools or any other sites
Keep a check on the appearance of any rashes
Temperature recordings every day to be noted
Tests: only if no improvement in next 5-6 days:
Typhidot-igG&igM,Peripheral smear for malaria,Dengue serology & NS1,CBC

If fever is continuously high above 104F or Severe abdominal pain or Recurrent Vomitings or Worsening of rashes or Bleeding from mouth/nose/in stools,then shift to nearby hospital immediately for proper inperson evaluation and treatment.
