Hi,
here our first priority would be controlling fever. continue tylenol once in 6hours. continue with tepid sponging frequently. keep him on minimum clothings. give antimalarials like Syp. qst and an antibiotic like Syp. Azithromycin. this should be the treatment approach for your child.
Thank you...
