Hi

welcome to healthcaremagic

you can give paracetamol (crocin DS),
every 6 hourly ,do tepid sponging if fever persists ,as and when required.
most fever are viral in nature and persists for 4-6 days.
If fever is persisting , is high , baby dull , poor oral acceptance , freq vomiting , passing less urine or otherwise does not seems well , you need to consult your peditrician to rule out any serious issue.
You can give Meftal P along with paracetamol.
Hope I answered your query
thanks.
