Hello Dear. Kindly take your daughter to a pediatrician. We need to find out what is the cause of fever by doing blood investigation.
Also one possibility could be some food poisoning. White spots on the tongue can be an oral thrush which suggests some infection.
For the time being you can give her paracetamol syrup 5ml every 6th hourly, keep a wet cloth on forehead, give her lot of fluids to drink, to prevent dehydration. Give her tender coconut water and ORS solution. You can do this till you meet your doctor.
Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you. All the best With warm regards Dr Sanjay Kini
