If no warning signs like loss of consciousness or altered behaviour/ drowsy / blurred vision/ slurred speech, and the wound is healed completely with no swelling, you can wait and give paracetamol. But if still fever is persisting or accompanied with any other symptoms please do consult nearby pediatrician.
