Brief Answer:
wait for 24 hours

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Paricip is good and can be given maximum 4 times a day.
See for 24 hours more as it is summer season now so at times fever is just skin deep and in case fever persists you should start with oral antibiotic syrup but before that visit a pediatrician for physical examination and weight calculation so that adequate dose and type of antibiotic can be started.
In case you have any questions about it, please feel free to ask.
Regards
Dr Manisha
