Hi,

I would suggest you to continue with Ibugesic 6th hourly along with tepid sponging to bring down the temperature. You have not mentioned the temperature value. Fevers more than 101 are highly dangerous and should be treated immediately since it can lead to convulsions.

Kindly visit your pediatrician in case of high fever as i have mentioned above or fever for more than 3 days. Fever for more than 3 days should be investigated with blood tests to identify the cause.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
