Hi...this looks like a viral illness. But with the information you give, it is very difficult to decide whether it is enter virus or not. But any trivial innocuous viral illness can cause the same illness, or it could be due to streptococcal pharyngitis too. I suggest you get a rapid streptococcal antigen test done and if it is positive, you may need a course of oral antibiotics. Regards -
