Hello,

As per your history, it may be due to urinary tract infection.

For that you can give syp acetaminophen.

He may require complete hemogram, urine analysis after pediatrician consultation.

Keep him hydrated. He may require antibiotics after consultation.

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