Hello.
Your child seems to have a viral URI. You need to observe the child till 4-5 days for fever which by all means will keep on coming back.
Add steam inhalation thrice daily.
Continue medication.
Get a complete hemogram with other investigations on failover of the fever to subside by day 5.

This is viral upper respiratory infection. Will resolve in few days. Continue cetrizine in proper dose. Drink plenty of water. If fever persistent or danger signs develop then requires physical consultation..
Danger signs-fever not responding to paracetamol, behaviour change, dehydration, breathing difficulties
