Fever above 101

2023-05-18 15:24:03
My son has had a fever since this afternoon. Temperature varies from 101 - 103. No stomach ache, no pain while passing urine, no vomiting and no cold and cough. He is active when fever is less and eating properly.  Please suggest medicine and dosage and how much time I can wait to take to the doctor?
