Brief Answer:
4ml 3 times daily

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,

I guess she do not have any other symptoms apart from fever.

In children, Paracetamol is the safest antipyretic. You can give her Paracetamol suspension(250mg/5ml)as needed. We give NSAIDs like meftal-P(Mefenamic acid) only if the fever or pain is not responding to Paracetamol.

The dose of Meftal-P syrup(100mg/5ml)

I hope this answer will help
