hello
in an infant such a high fever should be taken seriously.child is having febrile convulsions also.child though appearing normal in between of fever, but there will be some reason for high grade fever.she sholud be shown to a peditrician and examined and investigated and treated accordingly.mean while her temprature should be kept normal with paracetamol's adequate dose at 4-6 hours interval.
very best wishes for the child
