Hello. You can wait up to 2-3hrs for the temperature to reduce. In the meanwhile you can do tepid sponging to help with the fever. Check her temperature in 3hrs. If still not reduced, take her to the casualty.
I hope I have answered your question. Please let me know if you have any further concerns.
