Hi,
It's very common for children to get infection easily from their surroundings. Since your child was well for almost two weeks prior to this illness, it looks more like a newer infection rather than the older one.
There are many causes for recurrent fever in children, but I don't think your son is having any serious or worrying condition.
I would suggest you give plenty of oral fluids and paracetamol (dose as advised by your paediatrician).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Nirubhan Bharathy, Pediatrician
