Thanks for consulting. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

for now give him the fever syrup paracitamol 250 mg 3ml once every 6 hours for fever . other than than cool him externally with tepid sponging using normal tap water especially his chest back arm pit an fore head. this will cool his temperature.
repeat whenever the temperature rises.

feed him with breast milk frequently.

morning you can take to a pediatrician or ER.

Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
