Thanks for asking
I gone through your question. your daughter is having fever , that gone up to 103.7. and advil not helping .
The first thing you should do is water sponging . The proper technique for water spooning is , Take a small cloth and wet it with normal tap water . rub the wet cloth smoothing on whole body of daughter including scalp, abdomen , chest (both side), all four limbs. the temperature with drop down quickly. You can add syp paracetamol 15mg per kg per dose ( available without prescription ) to advil to get better result.
As fever is in range of 103.7, you should consult doctor for cause of fever.
Hope i able to answer your query
