Hi,

You can give Meftal syrup and Paracetamol syrup for symptomatic relief.

It might be a simple viral fever and will generally settle in couple of days.

Do tepid sponging to reduce the body temperature.

If symptoms persist, you can consult a pediatrician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
