HI
Well come to HCM
Your query is appreciated, it seems to be viral fever, I would suggest to be patience till few days it could be four to five days, during this time period child may have some symptoms like fever, headache sick feel, but it is nothing to worry, if this is not the viral fever then sick condition will be long last, if this is so then you will have to go get done the routine blood test, hope this information helps.
