Hi i did review your concern
If your daughters temp is not going down and is above 101.4 i would recommend you to take her to a doctor and get a blood test and widal test done. Sometimes high temperatures respond to higher doses of injectable antipyretics and also cold sponges help a lot. For cold you can give her levocetrizine symptomatic and give her lot of water to keep her from getting dehydrated.
If its a viral infection it will clear out on its own in 2-3 days but a blood report is advisable to rule out anything else.
I hope this helps
wish you and your daughter a very healthy life ahead.
