Brief Answer:
Looks like nothing but a viral infection

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Yes, the presentation looks typically like that of a viral infection. Rashes can also be found in such infections. The given medicine is ok and antibiotics are not needed. You need to give her plenty of water to drink. I do not think any other medicine is needed.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards

Brief Answer:
You would have to be patient. It may last for a few more days.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. The fever may last for 5-7 days. You would have to be patient. Looks viral. Dolo 650 can be taken 3-4 times a day depending on the requirement. I do not suppose that an alternative is needed. Also give tepid sponging.
