Brief Answer:
Visit a doctor. You may try Meftal for relief

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health Care Magic. I am sorry to hear that the temperature is still not under control. You may try Meftal 250 mg or 500 mg tablet as per requirement. It contains Mefenamic acid and is more potent than ibuprofen and may be tried. The gap between doses should be 8 hours. But since it is a prescription drug, you might need to get it prescribed by your doctor. In any case, visiting a doctor and remaining under his follow up is always better since he can assess you clinically and can intervene accordingly.

Hope that helps.
