Hi,
There is no harm giving Meftal for fever.
You can give paracetamol as well as and when required.
As all reports are normal, it might be having viral infection.
If fever continued after few days then go for Widal test to rule out typhoid.
give him plenty of water and keep him well hydrated.
Give light diet.
Ok and take care.
