HI if your baby is active in between with out fever and tolerating feeds, playing well and passing urine normally, no need to worry and continue Calpol as prescribed as fever will take 3-4 days to settle down.If he had any above features, needs blood and urine tests and antimicrobials intake based on your doctors prescription
