HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Viral infections are the most common cause for fever and other signs/symptoms of infection in children though other types of infections can occur as well.
His temperature is very high and would need treatment with antipyretics (Eg acetaminophen), tepid sponging and possibly fan therapy.
You should consider having him assessed to determine the infection that is present in case additional treatment is necessary.
I hope this helps
