Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Fever is mostly viral .
Usually it takes 3 to 5 days for the fever to settle, its safe to continue tylenol until then.
However if he develpos other symptoms or becomes dull,
Get him evaluated thoroughly .
Ensure he drinks plenty of liquids
Wishing your child speedy recovery
