Hi, i do care for your concern.
The fever that is not controlled by conservative medications, needs a detailed evaluation.
I would suggest
To consult with your physician, and do complete fever profile to rule out the causative pathogen, and t be treated accordingly.
In the meantime the procedures that you are following should be continued to keep the temperature at the modest level.
If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.
