hello and welcome to healthcare magic!!
you can continue giving the medicines and try using cold sponges over the head and use it to bring her temperature down.The medicine given to decrease the fever should bring her fever down and reduce the headache and bodyache too.

Hello.
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic forum.
You continue giving the prescribed medicines and to bring down the temperature, try cold sponging on her head.This will provide her some relief. For headache, you can give her a strong cup of coffee.Wait for blood reports for more specific treatment.
