Brief Answer: You can give as per prescription dosage. Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXX, Thank you for getting back. You can give Advil if the child is continuing fever as per the prescription. For her seasonal allergy, you can give the allergic medication also as per the instructions. And protect the child from mosquito bites by using mosquito nets and repellents as the mosquitos spread many diseases such as malaria and dengue fever. And consult the pediatrician for clinical assessment to know the cause for the fever and to prescribe specific medication. Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know. Regards.
