What Causes Burning Sensation On Nasal Passages Along With Fever?

My 11 yr old son has had a 103 fever since yesterday, aches and I just noticed his red nasal passages. He said that they burn. The fever most times has responded to ibuprofen. None of my boys have complained of nasal passages that burn. Is that an unusual symptom? I am just allowing him to sleep and work through whatever illness this is.

Hi,
It seems that he might be having acute rhinitis producing soreness and congestion leading to redness in the nasal cavity.
Nothing to worry.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Give him decongestant medicine as well.
Apply antibiotic cream in nasal cavity.
Ok and take care.
