Viral: There are a number of viruses that can be causing this. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is possible. You should be checked for monomucleosis also.

Sounds viral: This sounds like a viral illness. This should resolve, but if not, sometimes a viral illness can reduce the immune system, and a subsequent bacterial infection may develop.
