Hello,
Let me tell you that paracetamol and Levocetirizine are absolutely safe for your baby.
As per the report she does not have typhoid fever so you should wait for a day or two and if the fever continues then yes, an appropriate antibiotic should be given you can talk to her doctor or you can even write to us.
I will be more than happy to assist you.
She should take a bland diet such as khichdi, daliya.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
