Hello there,
You need to take her to physician urgently as she could be having meningitis. Please do not ignore as the infection can worsen quickly. Till then keep giving her cold compresses to forehead and entire body sponging with cool water.
But do not delay as she may need antibiotics or admission if diagnosed with meningitis.
Take care.
