I would suggest to look his throat for tonsillitis and pharyngitis.chest infections,abdominal infections and urinary tract infections can also cause fever.pattern of fever is also important as typhoid malaria or an abscess have characteristic fever pattern.
For symptomatic relief u should apply cold sponges to his forehead and legs.if not helpful then u should place a swab soaked in spirit under his armpit.after that paracetamol tablet is the choice.
