General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this high temperature. I will recommend that you use another fever medication like tylenol in the mean time so as to stay true to the dosage and frequency of advil. Also, dress the baby light, apply cold towels and make sure she drinks enough so as not to get dehydrated.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be.
