Since she has high spiking fever, you have to get complete blood test too.
Next Steps
Continue the same medications and if fever doesn’t settle down or if she is not active meet paediatrician again.

If she is dull and not taking feeds then better to get blood testing done... If she is active and feeding well with no other symptoms then u can continue the current medication
