Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
Viral fever spontaneously cures of its own.
Antibiotic is not always necessary.
symptomatic treatment to reduce fever will help.
Paracetamol 15 mg/kg/dose along with tepid sponging controls fever.
Hope this answer serves your purpose .
please feel free to ask further queries if any.
