Ok thank you so much! About how long does it last? And is it contagious ?
Brief Answer:
No longer contagious!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
With no more fever the chances are slim that he is actively shedding a virus. However, I will recommend precaution but no hard rules of isolation. This is to say minimize contact if unnecessary but maintain contact if necessary.
I wish you well.

Thank you!
Brief Answer:
Continue monitoring!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have reviewed the added images today. This again is typical of a viral infection. Treatment is mainly supportive and the body system will fight the infection. Make sure he eats and is in no pain. Tylenol for any pain or fever would be a great idea. If you think the child cannot eat or drink well, only then would I recommend a consultation. For now, supportive care is all that is needed.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for updating me and feel free to follow up with me if need be. Until next, I wish your son a speedy recovery.
