Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Continue Paracetamol according to weight of the baby. If fever persist, better to start antibiotics like Amoxicillin (dosage is same as that of paracetamol). Continue breast feeding to prevent dehydration. If symptoms persist, you have to consult pediatrician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
