Hi,
It seems that he might be having viral fever.
Fever might remain for some more time.
Important is,
Give plenty of water and liquids and keep him well hydrated.
Give him complete rest,
Give light and liquid diet.
Do cold sponges,
Continue giving Crocin syrup as and when required.
Within a day or two he will be alright.
Ok and take care.
