Hi,
It seems that your child is having viral fever and it will remain for few days.
With Ibugesic plus fever will go down for few hours and after its effect fever will be again.
If now fever persisted then consult your doctor and get examined and go for investigations like complete blood testing, urine check up to rule out infection.
Meanwhile give him plenty of water.
Give him light diet.
Ok and take care.
