Hi dear
welcome to the HCM.
Viral fever is the common cause for such high grade fever and symptoms especially in this rainy season.
Tap water sponging repeatedly SOS.
Plenty of water. Take care of the nutrition.
Paracetamol @ 15 mg per kg 4 to 6 hourly should help in relieving the body ache and fever.
If fever do not respond in 3 to 4 days then one investigatethe child for any other infection,.
Hope the query is answered.
