Many many conditions can cause these symptoms. If he is not having any other specific symptoms such as sore throat, cough, pain, etc, there is no way to even guess what it could be. Specific symptoms might reduce the possible diagnostic possibilities, but the specific diagnosis may require testing. This could be one of hundreds of viruses, strep, bronchitis, pneumonia, gastroenteritis, urinary tract infection, hepatitis, etc etc. If he is very sick and having a very high fever, then take him to emergency or urgent care where they can examine him and make a specific diagnosis. Then the correct treatment can be started. Hope this helps.
