Does Red Bumps On A Baby Indicate Chicken Pox?

I have a 2 month old baby boy. He has been having a fever for a week straight. Took him to the doctor and she said it was more than likely a viral infection. We have tried giving him tylenol, bathing him, compresses and just keeping him in a diaper but nothing seems to be bringing his temp down... the lowest he has been is 100.00. What should I do? He also has 5 bumps that are red around his body. Could it be chicken pox?
