Hi
With your query, since you have already consulted your doctor do what he said and keep doing wet spungingall over his body so that temperature will come keep him in air conditioned room not too cool or not too hot. Take medicines properly. If fever persists then it could be viral fever nothing to worry in 4-5 days it wil come back to normal. Make sure temperature is not going beyond 102-103 all the time it may lead to seizures. If necessary use antibiotic with doctors advise.
