I would wonder about an error by the thermometer. Or not taken properly. You did not say how old he was but some have been known to fake a temp to get out of school etc. The most accurate body temp its a fresh urine caught in an insulated cup. If you are using a mercury or similar thermometer they can be heated up by running against cloths or sheets or light bulbs. Discuss with Dr.

My 7 year old son has had fever since 2 days along with sore throat. The fever spikes back up to 103 once motrin wears off. Could it be streps?
