Hi,
Please get her blood test done, detection of malaria. Widal test done for detecting typhoid. If these are found she needs specific medicines .Consult her doctor again. Paracetamol syrup you are giving needs to be given 6 hourly, dosage as per doctor's advise according to her weight and health. Keep her well nourished and hydrated. Keep regular temperature record for her doctors observation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
