Hello. I just read through your question. This is very common in pediatrics and there are many babies who refuse to take medication orally. To reduce fever, there is a rectal suppository form of acetaminophen that can be use. It is very effective. Additionally, cool compresses to the forehead can also often reduce fever. I suggest trying these methods to help make your daughter more comfortable.
