Hi...this seems like a viral illness. I don't think thus requires antibiotics so soon as its only 2 and day of fever. If the kid is active when the fever comes down with paracetamol... Its most probably viral. So do not worry. If his is is exceeding more than 5 days without any localizing signs, then see your pediatrician for further evaluation.
