As its been nearly 24 hours since the time of consumption of small quantity of liquid repellant , as there has been no untoward symptoms the baby is safe. The major side effect of consumption is vomiting if consumed In small quantity.
Rest be assured there is no cause for concern.

Brief Answer:
Give him paracetamol syrup

Detailed Answer:
Namasthe XXXXXX

If the fever is not associated with any other symptoms like respiratory or gastrointestinal tract there is no cause for concern.
It could be coincidental viral fever.
I would suggest you the following
1. Paracetamol (Calpol or Cronin) 10 MG per kilograms body weight per dose given every 6 hourly
2. Tepid sponging: 20 minutes after giving paracetamol syrup wipe his whole body with soft napkin soaked in filtered water.
3. Give him his regular diet and breastfeeding
4. Give him adequate oral liquid: plain water or juice can be given

I hope the child is accepting feeds well and sleeping well.

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance

Take care
Best Regards
Dr Deepak
