Mostly these are viral infections which are self limiting and don't need any treatment other than Paracetamol . What is more important is the general condition in between the fever episodes , the appetite , activity , growth parameters . If these things are getting affected please show to the Pediatrician. Try not to give antibiotics too frequently as they may not be needed and may actually cause more harm than good
