Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Most likely it seems that your son is having a viral infection. You should give him round the clock coverage with paracetamol. He should take plenty of water. You may show him to the ER as there is a risk of dehydration.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, or want to any further details about the asked query, you can use the below mentioned link:
