keep checking his temperature evry 4th hrly.. An axillary temp of more than or equal to 99*F  is considered as fever..
Next Steps
And paracetamol dose differs based on weight of each child .

Hi, Do not add 1 deg to the recorded temperature in the axilla. If temperature is more than 99.5 deg F, then it is fever, give paracetamol 6 hrly,.
