HI
Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Fever indicates there is an infection in the body. Some are self limiting (like a flu) which get better in 3-5 days. Some require specific medication (like antibiotics). So please take her to a pediatrician to decide what kind of fever it is and what medicatio is needed here, espcially if the fever is rising and symptoms are worsening.
Takecare.
