But doctor suggested "Refzil O" antibiotic Syrup 3 course for 4 days as he found lite infection. After taking the first does of antibiotic her fever levels are high at night.

Continue antibiotics and if fever is persistently high, consult a doctor for investigations and further management. Please look that there is no allergic reaction to antibiotic, like fever associated with rash, itching, excessive vomiting or diarrhoea or swelling over body or face. In such a case you will have to consult your doctor immediately.
Best wishes.
