Any fever takes 3 to 4 to subside. It will take time. If he is active, passing urine and check up is normal, no need to worry. He may need blood tests. Please visit your pediatrician again or take a second opinion

Continue the medication
It takes 3-5 days for fever to subside
If the child continues to have high grade fever or becomes dull or develops any new symptoms consult with your paediatrician again
