Many thanks.
Dont worry at all.
Occasional fever due to common cold,FLu etc and fever is manageable easily with good cold sponges with tape water and regular parcetamol.
He needs good hydration,bed rest,more liqiuids orally.and takes 4-7 days.He will become alright soon.
If problems persists then needs full investigations for fever of Not known cause.
then Refer to pedaitrician for it if needed.
