Hi
If the fever is above 102'F, you may give Meftal-P every 8 hrs in correct dosage.
In between you may give Paracetamol after 4 hrs only if needed.
Avoid giving too much dosages.
Try giving tepid sponging with tap water.
Give him plenty of fluids.
In case if fever persists, do see your doctor and get him examined.
Hope my answer helps.
Wish your son good health.
