Hi.... I understand your concern. But by what you say this looks like a viral illness. If the child is active in between two fever episodes along with non specific symptoms like what you are quoting then you need not worry. But if she is extremely lethargic or developing rash over the body and along with low urine output, then I suggest you get her back to the nearest Emergency Room.

Other wise you can just continue with oral Paracetamol at the appropriate dose every 6 or 4 hourly once, if temperature is more than hundred degrees Fahrenheit.
