Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Thank you for your question.
Severe fever with no associated symptoms like cold/cough/loose stools can be due to viral infection. For this it is best to give as prescribed paracetamol drops, lots of fluids and tepid sponging. If your son has associated symptoms of cold/cough and temperature is not coming down you can discuss with your pediatrician regarding antibiotics.
I hope this answers your query. Good luck.
With best regards,
