Hi,

If no cough, cold, throat pain or any other symptoms, this may indicates just a viral fever. Chest pain may be caused by myalgia or pleural inflammation (less likely as he has no cough). If he is otherwise active, playful and eating as usual, need not worry- just give Tylenol 3 times a day (after food) for 3 days. If not getting sown by then or fresh symptoms appears, kindly take him to doctor as this ,may need further evaluation and antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
