Hi, I Have A 2yr,4month Old Boy Suffering From Chicken

Hi,
I have a 2yr,4month old boy suffering from chicken pox. Today is day 5 since the rash appeared and he started with high fever last night. I've only been administering paracetamol due to concerns over possible side effects of ibprufen. However, even with the calpol, his temperature is hovering between 38.5 degrees and 39.5. Can I alternate the calpol with ponstan paediatric suppositories?
