You may want to consider to give ibuprofen in between paracetamol, ie 3 hours after taking paracetamol, if temperature is above 38.5 degrees. This is what I was told when children had the same problem. You should also sponge your child to bring down the temperature. Please monitor her temperature closely to prevent fits. You may also want to consider to bring her to this TCM 育国中医https://www.yuguotcm.com.sg/ which is located opposite Kembangan MRT station for tuina (close to massage). It will bring down her temperature. Please note the queue is quite long, preferably call to check before you go. Speedy recovery.
