Thanks for posting your query at Chat Doctor. I am sorry that your son is not well. He probably has a gastrointestinal infection which is often caused by a virus called rotavirus though it could also be caused by certain bacteria. Antibiotics have been given to control it but in case the cause is viral, it is unlikely to respond. The temperature needs to be kept in control by cold sponging and use of medicines like paracetamol. Although you have not indicated the location of the lymph nodes, let me mention that in case of an infection, the lymph nodes try to limit the infection from spreading and get swollen in the process. So that is probably the case here. To keep the temperature in control, I would suggest you to sponge the child with water at room temperature. You can give him a bath too when the temperature is high. Do not wipe Chat Doctor.
