How To Reduce Temperature Of 39.7in Children?

My daughter has a temperature of 39.7. I am assuming that this too high? I have given her calpol tablets. She seems to have the flu. Is there anything else I can do to bring down the temperature quickly, and should I be particularly worried about the high temperature?

See as you have said your daughter has temp of 39.7 it seems to be clear that it is due to some kind of infection. Further you have not mentioned the age of your daughter so it is very difficult for me to calculate the dosage of drugs. Anyways, you can give her syrup cefixime 100 mg or syrup cefadroxyl 250 mg 5 ml twice daily with syrup ibugesic-plus or syrup crocin 5 ml three times daily for high grade fever with syrup cetrizine or syrup pheniramine 5 ml twice daily for flu like symptoms. Apart from these medicines you have to do cold sponging over her forehead as it will help you to bring down her temperature. Don't worry, she will be fine soon.
