Hello,
it is not OK.
Persistent rise in temperature in children less than 5 years poses the risk of febrile seizures.
follow tepid sponging(Rub the body of the child with water which is at room temperature) at regular interval to bring down the body temperature.
If the fever still persist then consult your doctor and request for lab investigation ilke CBC, widal test, Peripheral smear and urinalysis to arrive at a diagnosis.
