HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern. Fever can be well treated with Acetaminophen but this is high grade fever and in paediatric age group this need to be taken seriously and in my opinion clinical examination and some routine blood test are very important to rule out the infection, hope this information helps, tale care.
