More than three weeks after four-year-old Muhammad Ali Zafir Mohamed Azmi recovered from Covid-19, he started having a high fever and chills one evening. Two days later, he started vomiting as well.
It is wrong to say "he is having a fever. So is "he started having a high fever" wrong?
Thanks.
Is "he started having a high fever" wrong?

No, but still unnatural.
Amend to, e.g. He developed a high fever.
