Hi,
This suggests a pharyngitis or viral upper respiratory infection. Just give him Acetaminophen for 3 days. Let him take rest and drink enough fluids. If fever is not coming down in 3 days, or he becomes lethargic and not feeding, kindly take him to your doctor, as this might need antibiotics in addition
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
