Usually viral fever will present like this. So please wait before starting antibiotics. Give only dolo drops for fever.
It should be given at 15mg/kg
Keep watching for difficulty breathing, reduced activity, reduced feeding, altered behaviour
If any of these occur please take to hospital immediately

I would suggest you to wait for atleast 2days of fever before starting antibiotics, most fever in children tend to be viral induced, and there is minimal role of antibiotics.
