Suggest Treatment For High Fever

Hi my 17 month old swallowed a penny 3 days ago, but started with fever 2 hours before that. I took her to the ER, the penny is in the stomach. They checked for ear infection, urinary tract infection , strep throat since i was there anyway and she had 102.5 fever. All negative, so I went home , she threw up that night and morning, but now for 2 days she has eaten a little and drinks lots of fluids, it does not seem like a stomach virus. However since that day she has fever as high as 104.3, we give her non stop motrin and tylenol, which will take fever down for a while to 101.8 - 102.5. She is unhappy, crying a lot , laying down on her belly and holding on to us most of the time. The pediatrician said over the phone might still be virus to come into office tomorrow. We are worried and wondering if we need to go to the ER at Texas Children s. Can you advise? thanks
