Hi.....if your kid is normal in between fever episodes in a single day...I don't think you should worry as its only 2nd day of fever. Danger signs include breathlessness/ rash/ low urine output/ seizures/ unconsciousness/ blood in motion. Don't worry if these are not there & the kid is active.
She can be given 500mg Paracetamol if temperature is more than 100F every 6th hourly.
