Looks like viral infections, fever usually subsides by 2-3 days, if your child is active, accepting feed normally, without any other symptoms like altered behaviour, breathing difficulty, nothing to worry.
Next Steps
continue Calpol for next 2-3 days, adequate feed
Health Tips
consult nearby pediatrician in case child shows any discomfort
