In your case there are two most likely possibilities first is viral fever and second maybe you urinary tract infection. If you grandmother doesn't have any pre existing disease then take percetamol for fever for 2 days and if it subsided then its okay and if it doesn't suicide then you must considered a doctor for the investigation
