Suggest Treatment For Low Grade Fever In A Child

My 18 month old daughter has been running a low grade fever since yesterday afternoon - it hasn t broken, and just recently, it spiked to 104 and has held for about an hour. She has no other signs, but has become quite lethargic and lost her appetite. I have managed to keep feeding her fluids, but she consumed no solids today - what should I do?
