Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Keeping in possibility of viral fever with may be associated with thrombocyopenia , is is safe to use paracetamol only , unless other drug is prescribed by your doctor . You can always do tepid sponging to bring down fever . you need to keep a watch on warning signs like , poor oral acceptance , vomiting , pain abdomen , any rash, bleeding from any site and act accordingly .
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
*Always check for history of allergy before taking any medicine.
Wishing your son good health.
