Hello and welcome to HCM,
Physical exhaustion, stress and little sleep can predispose to illness, like infection, fever, body aches.
There is nothing to worry.
You can give your child paracetamol tablet 1-2 tabs every 2-3 hours or crocin syrup 1/2 tsp every 2-3 hours for control of fever.
Besides rest will benefit and help in recovering fast.
Maintain good nutrition of child by giving plenty of fluids and plenty of proteins.
Thanks and take care
