Hi...few days of fever need not be worried about. What is more important is the activity of the kid in between 2 episodes on same day. If she is active in between 2 fever spikes, you need not worry.
Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.
