How Can Fever In A Child Be Treated?

Hi doctor, In my home all of us except my daughter got viral fever last week and treated for it. Now from yesterday she got the fever. Now she got temperature of 101.9 degree F. What should be the right dose of paracetamol to control her temperature till I get a direct consultation with doctor in the evening. Her age is 11 yrs, weight is 29 kg. We gave one tab of P250 in the morning, but it seems it is not enough for her age and weight.
