Recurring fever

Asked for Male, 3 Years

My son had fever with nothing else just plain fever for 2 days that was treated with paracetamol drops. Then 3rd day he was fine with no fever, 4th day fever was back did same process and it left that night. 5th and 6th day no fever. 7th day, today morning at 1am he had fever and was uncomfortable so gave paracetamol. Till now fever has not come after that. On 1st, 2nd and 4th days, the fever was consistently back every 4hrs on those days it would then stop at night. Would like to know why the fever comes back after a gap, is this a pattern for anything. Did antigen test today was negative. Thanks for your time.
