If temperature reducing then continue the same. Do a COVID antigen test if temperature returns.

If fever isolate her with urself and give symptomatic management
Give Crocin or Calpol not any other drugs for now.
Get her and all people who were in direct contact tested for covid rtpcr.
Although children will have only mild symptoms or none at all it's better to isolate them for 10 14 days at home so that it doesn't spread.
If fever doesn't subside within 3 to 4 days then get her tested with CBC CRP blood culture also.
