Hello and welcome to HCM.
fever can be due to a viral or bacterial infection.its very common to get flu in childhood.
Since when he is having fever?.generally a fever caused by viral infection subsides within 5-7 days.there is no need to give any antibiotic for that.just paracetamol can be given for fever.
But fever persists more than that it can be due to other cause which needs antibiotics and some investigations.
Hope this answer helps.take care.
