[|AI|]  Hi, Please don't give Metal and Cal pol alternatively. Metal causes interstitial nephritis. Cal pol is a paracetamol, you can give that but should be given once every 6 hours. If fever is not reducing, get blood investigations on 3rd day of fever to look for viral illness, bacterial or urinary tract infection. Cal pol overdose can cause acute liver failure. Please be careful with medications to reduce fever. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
