Hello,
You should measure his temperature time by time. If he has temperature above 38°c you have to use paracetamol or ibuprofen if higher than that. I think if he is active, eats well and doesn't has any other symptom just measure his temperature. If temperature is high for more than 3 days you have to consult with Pediatrician because he may have any Infection and needs antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
