Brief Answer:
Adequate medication...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

How long is she suffering with fever? And what other symptoms does she have?

I would suggest giving her crocin drops every 6th hourly and if that doesn't reduce temperature and if fever persists beyond 102 deg fever, then meftal P can be used.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any other information.

Regards
