Hi
Fever and malaise ( body ache) are initial presentation of viral fever. You have to see if she is fine in between fever spikes. If she is sick even when fever subsides it is a reason to worry. See if on bending neck forward is possible or it causes pain. If these signs are positive immediately seek medical attention. If she is happy and playful when fever subsides you can wait as doctor said it is most likely viral fever.
