A viral fever usually lasts for 3-4 days at a time. This is the case in both adults and children.
Antibiotics will not help as it's a viral infection.
If your child is having any other symptoms, then further evaluation is necessary.
Make sure to give Paracetamol every 6-8 hours along with tepid sponging with a wet washcloth.
It will pass soon.

Viral fever will last for 3-4days.
Continue giving calpol for fever. If fever doesn't subside in 4days, we will do blood investigation.
