HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I usually give more importance to the activity of child, if child is playful then nothing to worry, here I would like to advise you to just keep taking the reading of body temparature every after 2 hours, instead of giving Ibuprofen better to give Acetaminophen, I think this could be a viral fever and will come aroud, take care of kid and have nice day.
