You have not mentioned weight of your child and duration of fever. Assuming weight of 5 year girl to be average (16- 18 Kgs) dose given by you is less. Imol is more effective for pain and inflammation than just fever. Better choice is go for Paracetamol syrup ( Crocin ds or Calpol 250) 5 ml 6 hourly. most likely its viral fever and will subside in 3-5 days. Wait for 3 days and if fever does not subside then visit local pediatrician.
