Might be your child is suffering from infection so give paracetamol ,monitor temperature .If it persistent rise for more than 48 hours or it is more than 102 along with local redness as well swelling , then take a sepsis screen( complete blood count ,CRP ,blood culture )  from your nearby laboratory and start antibiotics.
