Most probably viral only. In viral fever, fever will come in every 6 hours and will be there for 3 days.
Check the temp in the axilla, not in mouth or forehead. If above 100F, give paracetamol first . If fever reoccurs within 6 hours, then use Meftal p (dose you are giving is too less, but as weight not mentioned so cannot help)
For throat ache, cold syrup like Maxtra can help. Also if possible hot salt water gargles.
If still having doubts, then can take my help.
