Hello there. I can understand your concern. Why do you want to self medicate on the child and subject him to your experiments? Do you know anything about pharmacology? I'm sure not. Please don't play doctor doctor. Just consult a pediatrician in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.

Usually viral fever lasts for 3-4 days. If u think it is viral, u can wait. If the fever intensity increases or the interval between fever spikes reduces, or if there is coughing u need to consult your pediatrician ASAP
