Hi

Welcome to the HCM

I have gone through your question and understand your concern but don't worry. Most common cause of such fevers in toddlers is self limiting viral infections. They usually improve with in a few days.

So, I would recommend you to give symptomatic treatment to your child. You may give Calpol or mefenamic acid for fever spikes. You may repeat the dose after 6-8 hours if the fever doesn't improve. There is no need for any antibiotic at present. So avoid giving secef.

Also, offer regular feeds and fluids to avoid weakness and dehydration.

Hopefully this will be helpful to you. I would be glad to help you for any further questions.
Take care
