Hi,
As of now, continue paracetamol and sponging. Body temperature has to be below 100 otherwise it might provoke seizure.
If symptoms persist better to consult a pediatrician and get evaluated. Do a blood count to look for any infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
