HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here it could be said that this could be viral fever and this can be best treated with the symptomatic medicines if I would be a doctor of this case then I would treat this case with the following medicines,
1) Acetaminophen syrup 10 ml (250mg ) if the temperature goes beyond the 101 f
you need to wait few days if this doe not go away then blood need to be worked out but this would come around soon have nice day.
