Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Fever is mostly viral in nature and settles in few days.
I suggest you to give acetaminophen 6 hourly if fever is above 100F.
Do tepid sponging if fever is above 102 F.
Give plenty of fluids.
In case symptoms persist get him evaluated by pediatrician.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
