My little one is one and a half years old, and he's running a fever of 101.4 degrees. I've been giving him 6ml of Crocin since last night, but his temperature hasn't come down. I'm really worried about why it's not improving. What should I do next? Is there anything else I should try or look out for? I just want to make sure he's okay.
