A mild fever without a cough or cold is usually caused by a viral infection and does not require antibiotics. Continue giving Sumo L Drops (Paracetamol) to help reduce fever, and ensure your child stays well-hydrated. Only start antibiotics if a doctor confirms a bacterial infection after a thorough examination.
