For a 9 month old average child dose of 0.5ml seems very low. Pattern of fever shows of viral illness. If child is playful and otherwise normal, watch him. In any doubt take consultation online or offline.

This is the pattern of fever in most viral fever. Temperature will come back once the effect of paracetamol weans off. Record temperature and give paracetamol once in 6 hours if required and give plenty of fluids.
Next Steps
Wait for 2-3 days. Investigate after 3 days if fever persists or if child becomes sick then blood workout earlier
