Since fever is already persistent for 3-4 days direct consultation would be better to assess the child and run few tests if required. You can continue paracetamol every 6 hrs of temperature is above100F.

It's already 3-4 days Usually Viral fever present for 3-4 days if fever is not reducing even after 4 days means you need to go for blood test and physical examination

Greetings
cyclical fever escalating at midnight and morning, accompanied by a cough, headache, weakness, and a new runny nose despite taking Ibugesic suspension.
These worsening symptoms and cyclical fever patterns are consistent with several potential pediatric conditions, including a progressive viral upper respiratory tract infection (like influenza), a secondary bacterial development such as acute sinusitis, or an atypical infection like walking pneumonia.
