Indeed,viral infections are highly contagious and spread thru air and touch.
Ask him to take paracetamol for fever and repeat every 4 hours if required.
Ensure a healthy balanced diet and plenty of fluids.
If not improving OR accompanied by other symptoms like vomiting or loose motions or coughing and breathlessness or dullness and refusal to feed,ask him to consult a physician.
