What Treatment Will Help Severe Fever Get Down?

My daughter is13 years old. For the past 2 weeks she has had a recurring fever. She is lethargic and complaining of aches and pains when the fever is present. She has had a period of 6 days with no symptoms or fever in between but then the fever has come back. She seems to be getting these symptoms more frequently lately.
