A fever for one day is often due to a viral infection and may not need antibiotics. Paracetamol can help control fever, and improvement is a good sign. Antibiotics are only needed for bacterial infections and should not be given routinely. Consult a doctor if fever persists, worsens, or new symptoms appear.
