Suggest Treatment For Fever

My son has a temperature, I can tell it is raised, but I don't have a thermometer to check exactly how high. He is refusing any form of medicine. Is there anything I can do to reduce his temperature? I have given him a cool bath, which worked temporarily but it has now returned. He isn't really drinking but will take sips. Trying to give him medicine just led to him becoming hysterical.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He has history of fever. He should go for some blood tests like complete blood count, malaria parasites and urine analysis. Then he should take treatment according to diagnosis. For fever he should take paracetamol. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
