Hi, Thanks for asking. In my opinion you need not worry at present and can keep an eye on him. It will be better to avoid ibuprofen if simple paracetamol works for fever. Also you can do tap water sponging.
Watch for signs of lethargy breathlessness or irritability.
I hope i have answered your question.
