If the child is active when there is no fever, nothing more to be done. Looks like a viral fever which will go away in 3 to 4 days. Contact again if not better by then or worsening is there

Very likely viral infection. In viral, fever comes back in every 6 hours for 3 consecutive days. Encourage more liquids Take an opinion if still in doubt.
