Fever is a defense response to some infection in the body. Indigestion doesn't cause fever.
You may continue giving P125 drops 6 hourly, if temperature is more than 100 deg F. Try sponging with plain water too.
As he had a history of severe UTI in the past, it's better to do a urine routine and culture this time. Look for any other symptoms along with fever.
