Pediatrician 's  Response
Thanking for consulting in Health care Magic.Your daughter has viral infection and probably teething too because she doesn't want to eat .Viral infection usually occur with symptoms of intoxication: lost appetite, nausea,vomiting,headache,weakness.She is crying because she feels pain-headache or toothache, but she can not tell you or she feels sore throat. You give good antipiretic therapy, but when temperature is very high you should use physical methods also like: cover baby in wet sheet of usual room temperature, put her in hot tub with body temperature, rubber her with alcohol .
2 thing-hot drinks
3-avoid cold sour drinks
4-use rectal suppository-adol 125mg- 1 supp per rectum if temperature is very high
5-nasal decongestant spray for baby 2 drops 3 times
6-antihistamines-behadril syrup
7-cough syrup-kuka 1/2 teaspoon 2 times 5 days
8 -give light food -half amount, other half-hot drink
9-steam inhalation with soda-1 teaspoon for 2 glasses of boiled water
10- cut onion and leave with small amount of water on the plate near bed of baby -fitoncides will kill viruses

If fever will not decrease after 3 days then probably pediatrician will prescribe antibiotic-suprax or other
I wish you speedy recovery
