Brief Answer:
Meet local pediatrician

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the query

Continue paracetamol drops. It should be given in every 6 hrs. Dosage should be calculated according to your baby weight.

Other things to do would be cool compresses, room temperature baths, and sipping cool fluids.

If fever is not getting reduced with the above methods.If Baby is crying , not active not feeding well, then immediately you have to meet local pediatrician.

thank you
take care
