Since yesterday, I've been feverish with no prior symptoms. What's going on?

Patient's question:

I started feeling feverish yesterday without any warning signs, and I wasn't coughing. The highest temperature yesterday evening was 39.1°C. Today, my temperature hasn't dropped below 38°C. Whenever it falls below 38.5°C, I take 4 milliliters of ibuprofen, and it brings it down to 38°C. From 9 PM yesterday to now, I have taken ibuprofen three times in total.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the narrative and test results you purchased, nothing can be determined yet. You can give the child some antiviral medication. Sometimes, the symptoms of a child's upper respiratory infection appear later than the fever. When my child was young, this was often the case, and it was usually a viral infection. This is the full explanation for "fever started yesterday with no prior symptoms." Finally, wish the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
