Ibuprofen has low safety profile.Please switch to Plain Paracetamol.Pulse oximeter readings can be erroneous as the finger probe may not have proper fitting with your kid's hand.If the child is sock please consult pediatrician immediately.

If she is active and having normal color and breathing this must be some mechanical problem with the Spo2 readings . However there is no harm in getting her physically checked up

Best value has to be considered Also waves in the oxymeter are good then only that value has to be considered. Not when it is displaced from the finger.
