2 year old high temperature

My son got viral fever. The temp keeps on raising every 4 hrs and it's not getting below 99 degree Farenheit even after giving medication. What I have to do. Is it safe to give IFEN syrup 4 hrs once. My doctor prescribed it for 6hrs once.

Temperature below 100 is normal. If not accompanied by other symptoms, just give paracetamol for fever and repeat after 4 hours if required. If not improving OR accompanied by other symptoms like vomiting or loose motions or breathlessness and dullness and refusal to feed, consult your paediatrician for physical examination and treatment.
