Fever will keep recurring till infection is there. For viral its take 4-7days to recover. Please consult your paediatrician for clinical examination and requirement of any further investigations.

Fever is basically our body's way of fighting infection.So it can be there for 3-5days in an infection.Better to reduce use of Meftal and give paracetamol alone.
Next Steps
Consult pediatrician for further examination and tailoring of medicines.
