Hello,
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that yes you can sponge inbetween for fever and increase the dose of centamol to 10ml. If fever is more than 10 days then kindly consult a paediatrician to run blood test a ultrasond Abdomen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
