Hello
Most of the time fever is associated with infection or inflammation.As infection or inflammation subsides fever also get relieved.
She is already on antibiotic.For fever give her paracetamol.You can give paracetamol 4-6 hourly depending on the severity.Tepid sponging with leukworm water help in bringing down the temperature.
Give paracetamol only when temperature is above 37 cent.
