Fever: how high is the fever, you may need to get a complete blood count, chest x-ray and urine test done, upper respiratory infections do cause fever and treatment remains symptomatic. Complete blood count can point towards bacterial or viral infection

I agree that he needs further evaluation. If he has prolonged fever, Kawasaki's Disease is also considered. A chest radiograph/imaging may provide more information, along with a CRP blood test.
