Hey Red,
Sorry to hear about the wee little one. I am a Physician Assistant and also live on the Treasure Coast. It is probably a Viral infection and the best medicine is tincture of time. You are doing the right things, hydration, analgesic(Motrin) for aches pains and temp. Some literature says not to treat a temp unless it gets above 102 and won't respond to Tylenol or Motrin. I thought this was torture for a little kid and a soon as my kids hit 100 I would pour on the Tylenol. Just makes sure his mouth looks moist and his eyes look moist under the lids. If they are, he is hydrated. Stay away from all dairy products and just rest his gut for few days with a very bland diet once he can tolerate food. Those little ones are tough, he will bounce back soon. just think of it as his immune system just got a boost for future bugs he will be exposed to.
Take Care
Mark
