I am happy to answer on behalf of healthcaremagic, actually fever of 1 day is most likely due to viral infection and usually it is of sudden onset and high like your husband had 102.The bump you noted is most likely lymph node and that also get enlarged in viral infection.it will usually take a week time to resolve.avoid cold drinks and continue use of medicine for fever
