Changed medicines for high fever 103.6

Hello Doctor, my daughter Jannat is 1 year 10 months old and weighs around 10 kg. She developed fever, initially around 100.8°F, so I was giving Calpol. Her fever increased to 103.5°F, so I consulted her doctor again. He asked me to stop Calpol and changed her medicines. Earlier, she was treated with Meftal P, Ventimox-CV (antibiotic) and cough syrup. Now the doctor has prescribed Patmox (antibiotic), Sypara and Novrex-LS (cough syrup). He also gave a medicine/pill through the rectal area due to the high fever. Could you please confirm whether Patmox is safe, considering she recently had Ventimox-CV, and whether it is necessary? Is the rectal medicine safe? Since her fever reached 103.5°F, does she need any blood, urine or other tests?

Recurrent fever after a week

Hello Doctor, my daughter Jannat is 1 yr 10 months, ~10 kg. She has had recurrent fever: June 21 (settled with paracetamol), around July 15 (fever ~3 days with small pimple-like spots on buttocks, legs and hands, then settled), July 30 (fever 103.6°F, settled), and fever again today Aug 9. Between episodes she is completely active, playing, drinking normally and passing urine normally. Currently no runny nose, but occasional sneezing. At night she snores/sounds congested as if mucus is present and her voice is slightly hoarse/changed. Today I gave Meftal-P at 5:10 AM, Calpol 250 mg/5 mL at 10 AM and Kofcatch AX for mucus. Meftal-P was prescribed in her previous doctor's prescription, which I am attaching. Please review it and advise whether to give Meftal-P again or continue Calpol, including dose/timing. Should I give Alerid (cetirizine) for occasional sneezing despite no runny nose? Why is the fever recurring, and does she need any tests? Is the snoring/voice change due to mucus?
