Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I understand your concerns but don't worry. The most likely reason for fever in this age group is self limiting viral infections. It improves within a few days with symptomatic management. Do, continue calpol for fever spikes. If the fever persists for more than three days or there is any worsening than do visit a pediatrician for proper clinical examination and definitive treatment.
Take care
