Viral fever takes time to decrease Nothing to worry Just keep on giving appropriate dose of paracetamol every 8 th hrly You can intermittent cold sponging But even after 7-10 days fever persists consult doctor immediately

your history tells us that the child is suffering from viral fever and in viral fever you have to give only symptomatic treatment that is for fever have to give paracetamol(max 4 times per day if needed) and plenty of water to drink and at least 60 to 70% of the regular diet and if the fever continues beyond 3 days then meet the doctor please do body sponge that is body wiping to decrease the body temperature with wet cotton cloth.
