Your baby is 9 months means approximate weight must be 8 kg. you are supposed to give paracetamol drop 1.2 ml every 4 hourly if temperature is more than 100. If fever persists beyond two days then get Covid antigen test done. If any new symptoms then please consult local doctor.

Give PARACETAMOL drops (1ml/100mg) at 15mg/kg/ dose ..If around 8 kg give 1ml every 6 hours and do sponging with Luke warm water..If fever doesn't come down in 2 days do a physical or video consult.
