Dear Mr XXXXXXX
Normal body temperature is 97.4 degree Fahrenheit, it can vary 1 degree on either side. So normal temperature is between 96.4 to 98.4 . So temperature more than 98.4 is considered as fever. As the temperature of your son is 99.3 it is considered as mild fever .
It should subside with Adol (Paracetamol ) Syrup. The most commonest cause for fever in children is non specific viral fever and respiratory infection. The fever usually takes 2 to 3 days to subside. So if the fever is less than 100.5 and is getting subsided with Adol then there is no cause for concern.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take care
