Hi,

Since I am not aware of the duration of fever and any other associated symptoms, will be difficult to comment on the cause. When fever is not controlling with above said medicines, if I were your treating doctor, I would have given syrup flexon (ibuprofen + paracetamol) 3.25 ml three times a day for 2 days. Also do tepid sponging with tap water. Mostly such types of fever are viral and will come down by 2-3 days. If not, or she becomes lethargic/not feeding well, kindly review with your doctor further assessment and management accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
