See first of all you need not to worry much and think directly of brain disease as there are so many cause of fever. As mentioned in your history I think it is just because of some sort of infection nothing else. For this you have to give him some antibiotic after an expert opinion with tab dolo 650 or tab calpol every 8-12 hours with tab rantac or tab famotid empty stomach. Continue cold sponging or compression as you are doing it rightly.
