Firstly measure the temperature with a digital thermometer in axilla and if the temp is more than 100 f or 38.5 C then and then only give medication as per weight.
Just the body being warm is not an indication to give medication
Also with medication you have to do aggressive tepid sponging with Luke warm water

Fever occurs due to infection. So there's no need to cure fever as such, you have to tackle the infection.
Firstly measure temp. If temp> 100, then only fever is diagnosed. First try tepid sponging to bring fever down. If fever still rises after 30 mins, then can give PCM. If fever rises to >102, then can use syrup ibuprofen (100/5)- 5 ml SOS. However give ibuprofen only upto 2-3 times a day, not more. PCM also not more than 4-5 times a day. All these medications affects kidney. So be aware.
Next Steps
for fever- ibuprofen
for dry cough- syrup ascoril D- 3 ml thrice a day.
