You haven't mentioned about the screening of your child for thyroid status. If you have hypothyroid then your child must screen for TSH levels, as thyroxine is needed for brain growth during first 2 years.
You can give paracetamol drops 6 hourly
(P100 drops) 0.75 ml until fever subsides.

Talk to experienced orthopedist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
If the dosage of the drops is 100mg in 1ml
Then 0.5-0.7mL is enough.
Please give only when the child has a temperature >99.5F.
Record the temperature and then give it.
Maximum three times a day.
