call an ambulance!. his temp is way too high!. or you can try giving him Motrin and then 6 hrs later give him Tylenol, then Motrin again after 4 hrs of the Tylenol!. keep cool cloth on forehead and back of neck!. you will need to keep rinsing them in cold water!.!.this will help take the heat out of him!. have him sip water or nibble on ice!. good luck!. he has a virus so it should start to pass!.!.if not then def call 911!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't panic, but you should call an ambulane and have him brought to a hospital right away!. Vomiting and high fever are the most suggestive signs of bacterial/viral infection!. They can give him some antibiotics and he'll be fine in a few days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
But him in the tub with COLD water and throw some ice cubes in there!
That will lower his temp!.
Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yea he should go to the hospital that is a really high temperature!. if you cant drive call an anut/uncle or even a neighborWww@Answer-Health@Com
First of all little children frequently have higher temperatures than adults or teens when sick!. The temperature is the body's way of fight off an infection!. It would be good to keep his head cool with a wet wash clothe and to let the fever do its work - with God's blessing he will be ok in a day or two!. You might need to call for a friend to help through the night to keep his head cool!. A doctor would proscribe medicine to bring the temperature down but that same medication would also prolong the illness!. I'll be praying for you!. And relax God will help you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
As to what he has well that could be anything, what to do,
What you have done is ok, keep an eye on his temp, put a damp cloth on his forehead it he is to hot, it he starts to shiver, remove some but not all clothing as he will be shivering because of high temp!. put him to bed and check on him from time to time!.
He probably has a sickness bug that will pass in a day or so, sorry your home alone is there no neighbors near by that you can call, have a think about that one!.
