Hi,
As your child is having very high fever for last 3-4 days requires to consult doctor as early as possible.
This can be viral fever or bacterial but having high fever some blood work is to be carries out.
Go to ER and get examined.
Meanwhile continue giving ibuprofen or tylenol as and when required.
Give him plenty of water and liquids and keep her well hydrated.
Give her light diet.
Ok and take care.
