Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello,

I just read through your question. The most likely diagnosis is a viral illness. These resolve on their own after a few days, but often come with fever than can last 2-3 days. Continue to treat with Tylenol as needed. of the fever persists beyond 2-3 days, I recommend consulting with your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Eric Goldstein
