If she is having only fever, and not other symptoms, we need not worry. Just give her paracetamol 3-4 times a day.
Tepid sponging is needed only incase the temperature is not coming down in 30-45 minutes of paracetamol. Keep her indoor with minimum loose cotton clothes.
Take her back to doctor if fever is not coming down in 2-3 days, she becomes lethargic or refuses to feed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK
