What should I do if a child's body temperature remains low after taking fever-reducing medication?

Patient's question:

My child is seven and a half months old. They started fevering yesterday morning. Initially, their temperature was 37.9 degrees, but it gradually increased, reaching a high of 38.4 degrees in the afternoon. In the middle of the day, I gave them one dose of medicine (Sanghai Pharmaceutical's "Children's Fever-Reducing Oral Liquid"), but their temperature didn't go down. Later, I gave them half a dose of fever-reducing medicine (Hainan Zhongrui Kangzhi Pharmaceutical's "Ruizhiqing - Nimetazone Granules") because the child didn't want to eat it. They only took a little and then vomited it all up, so the fever-reducing medicine wasn't fully given. By 6 or 7 in the evening, their temperature dropped to 36.5 degrees. However, in the evening, their temperature was measured five times and stayed around 35.6 degrees. It only rose to 36.5 degrees again the next morning. This morning...

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the child's temperature is normal now. Do not give any more fever-reducing medication to the child.
