Hello, Thanks for your query. It seems that your child is having a throat infection which is causing the fever. It may be caused by either viral or bacterial infections. Ask him to drink plenty of fluids throughout the day and use over-the-counter throat lozenges. Salt water gargle is also a good way to relieve a sore throat. In addition, give him Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) round the clock after consulting his pediatrician. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
