Cardiologist, Dr. Ilir Sharka's Response

Hello,

I would recommend alternating Calpol with Ibuprofen every 4 hours if her temperature is high. If fever persists more than 2 days, I would recommend performing some blood lab tests: complete blood count, PCR levels and a urine analysis.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
