Hello,
Welcome to the HCM.
Since there is incomplete history about the time and duration of fever,and other associated symptoms,the cause of fever can not be known .As fever can be because of bacterial infection,viral infection or protozoal infection. and it can be throat infection,respiratory infection or urinary tract infection.
If fever persist more than longer time,then he may need complete blood count,chest xray,urine DR,stool DR ,malarial parasite done and discuss further with your doctor.
