Hello.
I would like to suggest that you use Syrup Paracetamol as it is more safer for the next dose and you can give it 6-8 hourly in a day. You can do tepid sponging with room temperature water and clean cloth to bring the fever down. , i hope you have ruled out the reason behind the fever like dengue, other viral illness.
For further treatment i would request you to consult me on Practo because i need more details to advise any more treatment.
Thankyou
