Suggest Treatment For Fever And Penile Discomfort In A Child

my son (almost 2) screams when we wipe his penis or scrotum. Now he has a fever of almost 103 and had an episode tonight where he cried for about 10-15 min. and could not be consoled. Afterward, he seemed to be walking strange and acted kind of out of it.
