Nothing to worry. Kindly give only paracetamol as per his weight as of now. Watch for any breathing difficulty / fast breathing. If oral intake is poor or if he is having fever beyond 3-4 days or rash or poor consult, consult a pediatrician in a near by covid center.
Next Steps
Document temperature with thermometer. If temperature more than 100degFarenheit, to give paracetamol as per child's weight. There should be gap of atleast 6 hours between 2 doses of Paracetamol.
Health Tips
kindly post the weight of the child next time.

This requires only symptomatic treatment. Paracetol as per the weight can be given if fever is more than 100
F. U can give Allegra for excessive sneezing
Give steam inhalation regularly. Give vit C ,vit D and zinc. Keep a watch for danger signs like very high fever or difficulty in breathing , refusal to eat or lethargy. Monitor oxygen saturation.if it decreases below 95% co shit offline in nearby cocid center.
