Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
Cause of this second episode of fever in short duration could be
.New viral infection ( most probably)
.urinary tract infection
.malaria
.ear or throat infection
.heat stroke
Give lots of water to him.
Answer of your second question is that if above medicines are given in proper dose and at proper interval and for short time then they are generally safe with no long term side effects
