It depends: If the fever is >101 for more than a couple of days, he is vomiting or having excessive diarrhea, he should be checked by his doctor. If it is mild, you may be able to help him with just simple home care. Increase clear fluids such as pedialyte or watered down gatorade, brat diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, etc), tylenol, (acetaminophen) and rest.
