My Five Year Old Has A Fever Of 39.7 Just

My five year old has a fever of 39.7 just 3 hours after 5ml of Nurofen were given. He has been coughing all day (barking. Possibly croup?) but has only now develped a fever. I gave him 10ml panado syrup an hour ago and temp is down to 38.5 Breathing is rapid. He is awake and alert, despite the late hour.
If his fever doesnt come down more or, worse, goes back up again, what can I give him to get through the night? I have Ponstan syrup as well as Nurofen and Panado. Thank you.
