Hi...1-2 days of fever is usually viral in origin, and the important thing is that it will be recurrent as you have pointed in your complaint. But I suggest you certain facts regarding viral illness. When you give paracetamol and when the fever comes down for few hours, if the kid is active at that time, then you need not worry. Only Paracetamol will do every 4-6th hourly and that too only if temperature is more than 100 F.
Apart form this give him plenty of water.
