Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

Self prescription may work some times but will be dangerous in certain scenarios.
So i request you to not to self prescribe.

The treatment in a case of fever depends on the etiology.
Does he have any chills and rigors?
Does he have a soar throat?
Does he have any vomiting or loose stool?
does he have any burning urination or frequency of urination?

Reply in detail so that I can help you better.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
