Hi,
From what you said, he is having a flu. Need not worry at this point of time. Mostly these are viral and fever will subside in 2-3 days. In such cases I advise my patients to give paracetamol every 6-8 hours for 3 days and saline nasal drops if there is congestion or block. Antihistamine like levocetirine will help if significant nasal discharge or dry cough
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
