Brief Answer:
Fever
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
You are already doing everything correctly. You can try Motrin in place of tylenol and also make sure she is hydrating.
However, a fever that persists this long could be a sign of a bacterial infection. If this is the case, she might need an antibiotic. I recommend consulting with your doctor about this to see if this may be the case.
