Suggest Treatment For High Fever,cold ,cough And Vomiting

Hi sir/madam

My son(7 month) is having 101-103 feaver since last 5 days with cold , cough& vomiting.

I had checked with my doctor its viral feaver only.

But temperature is rising to 103 every now & then
Please let me know cold water sponging is good or not to reduce temperature.

I had done MP WIDAL DIARIA test also , all r negative.
Please let me know how long it will take to cure.
