Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of low grade fever and lethargy which seems to be due to viral infection and poor immunity of child. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain hydration of child well. Start giving oral rehydration fluids sip by sip to maintain the hydration. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should go for blood tests as well and start treatment after proper examination. you should give Ibuprofen to child along with proper rest for child is required.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
