Hi,
It seems that she might be having viral infection producing high fever.
This will remain for few days.
Give her paracetamol syrup round the clock for 2-3 days.
Give her plenty of water and keep her well hydrated.
If fever persisted for long then she might require some investigations like complete blood checking and routine urine check up to know type of infection.
Give her light diet.
Ok and take care.
