Usually fever settle down after 4 to 5 days.
Most important thing,you have to monitor child activity, urine output and food intake.

Sponge her down whenever temperature rises. Increase her water intake to prevent dehydration fever. You can use Calpol every 4-6 hours if required.
Usually viral fevers last for 3-4 days. If it persists beyond that, get back to your doctor
