How Safe Is Taking Motrin And Tylenol For Fever?

My 5 year old son has chills, and had a temperate of 102.4 earlier. I brought it down with Motrin and have continued to use Motrin and alternating with Tylenol as previously advised by his doctor the last time he got a fever. He does not have a cough or a runny nose, what should I do?
