But in between 8 hours the fever was still same thats why i gave her 1 Enelfa 250mg suppositories in between 8 hours. Still the fever continues what should i do?

Hello,
Let me tell you that Ibuprofen as an antipyretic is not bad but instead of giving 5 ml TDS, it should be given 7.5 ml TDS.
I will also be better to start an antibiotic such as cefpodoxime 50 mg 7.5 ml twice daily for 3-5 days.
Applying cold water stips in high fever is absolutely fine. I suggest talking to your doctor if her fever continues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
