Pediatrician,  's  Response
You can safely use Tylenol in the prescribed dose 4-5 times a day for a child who is running fever. However, it seems that you are using it even when there is no fever. Stop using it by the clock, and use it only if there is fever above 99.5 degrees F.

Why did the fever occur? Most likely a virus, but it is safer to go to his pediatrician in routine hours within a day if possible.

Use sponging as a tool to reduce fever - as your child had a fit in the past, don't allow the fever to rise beyond 100 F.

I hope that helps.

Best wishes.
