Hi & Welcome to HCM.
Cortisone injection does not cure the fever.
For the symptomatic relief of fever, the best medication in young children is Paracetamol which can be given 3-4 times/day. However, the cause of the fever like virus or bacterial infection should be detected after clinical examination by a doctor and to be treated along with appropriate antibiotics.
Cortisone injection should not be used to treat fever as its use is associated with a number off side effects.
Hope this answers your query.
