A fever of 103?F is high, but we can manage this. Since you gave him Crocin (paracetamol) two hours ago, do not give another dose yet to ensure his safety. Keep him comfortable in a cool room, dress him in lightweight clothing, and encourage him to sip water or fluids to stay hydrated. Continue with lukewarm (not cold) compresses. Since the fever hasn't come down, please contact your doctor or visit a clinic for a proper evaluation to find the cause of the fever and get guidance on safe alternative medications.
