Motrin can be taken 400mg, 600mg or 800 mg every 6 to 8 hours , not exceeding a daily does of 3200mg. You can consider giving her one of these strengths to reduce the chance of fever recurrence.
In addition to these medications, she can also consider using cool clothings, drinking cool or cold liquids and tepid sponging to help keep the temperature under control.

Can Motrin Be Given For The Fever While Tylenol Has Already Been Given ?
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic Motrin can be taken 400mg, 600mg or 800 mg every 6 to 8 hours , not exceeding a daily does of 3200mg. You can consider giving her one of these strengths to reduce the chance of fever recurrence. Tylenol can be used every 4 to 6 hours. In addition to these medications, she can also consider using cool clothings, drinking cool or cold liquids and tepid sponging to help keep the temperature under control. I hope this helps
