Hi,
You are on right line of treatment.
It seems that she might be having viral fever.
Continue giving Crocin or Meftal-p syrup as and when required for fever.
But important is to give her plenty of water and liquids and keep her well hydrated so that there will be enough perspiration to bring fever down after giving medicine for fever.
Ok and take care.
