Dont worry most of the fevers are due to Viral infection, it will stay for 2-3 days. Your doing excellent job by giving syrup paracetamol and meftal. Do sponging also in case high fever present.
Your so had febrile earlier so you need to give tablet frisium 5mg half of the tablet morming and night for 3 days whenever he gets fever to prevent seizures.
Putting things in mouth is their natural behaviour it will disappear as the age increases.
