Suggest Treatment For Fever In A Child

My 2 year has a fever, he won t let me check it, but when I did last night it was 100.9. Now he has chills. I noticed him shaking and shivering while drinking. He wants a blanket on him, and his heart is beating too fast. What I can at home to help him?

Give paracetamol syrup for fever and if fever persists do cold sponging. If fever persists than malaria should be ruled out.
