102 is quiet high. You should also do tepid sponging. If fever is not reducing with paracetamol and tepid sponging, you can use Syp. Meftal , 1.5ml, upto three times a day. Meftal is not advised in patients with covid though.
Next Steps
See a paediatrician.

The fever takes time to reduce, you can give paracetamol in prescribed dose once in 6 hours for 2 days As long as the baby is active, taking feeds well don’t worry Give plenty of fluids Ensure the baby is voiding urine 6 to 8 times per day
