Hello. I just read through your question. The most likely diagnosis for fever with no other symptoms in a 4 year old is a harmless viral illness. Typically, the fever lasts 2-3 days and resolves. I agree to treat with Motrin. However, if other symptoms arise (ie: ear pain, throat pain, vomiting, etc...), or the fever lasts beyond 2-3 days, he should be examined.
