Hello, thanks for posting your query here. It is only the third day of fever, Crocin or any other fever relieving medicine has a duration of action of 4 to 6 hours only. What is more important than fever is the child s activity when there is no fever, feeding, comfortable breathing etc. If she has trouble with any of those, or has high grade fever (temperature more than 102 F) for more than 2 days from now, take her to see the doctor. Otherwise, it is safe to wait another two days.
