Fever is a sign of infection which could be either viral or bacterial. If the child is normal between fever Spikes and overall intake, activity and urine output are fairly reasonable then you may keep a close watch and continue with Paracetamol round the clock every 6-8 hourly for a day or two. However the fever should be e below 101F and without any other symptoms. Keep a close watch for new symptoms like cold, cough, fast breathing ,decreased urine output ,vomiting, loose motions , drowsiness and others. Ensure good hydration and offer preferred foods once the fever Spikes settle.
