There has been a virus going around for a few weeks. Presents with lethargy, high temps (up to 39), slight runny nose, loss of appetite, sore throat and has been lasting 2-4 days in the kids I know who have had it. My DD had it a few weeks back. We managed it through panadol when the temp hit 39.9 and also constant tepid washes (when she'd let me!) as well as light clothing, plenty of fluids and loads of rest.
You're doing a great job but keep in mind fever alone is not a bad thing. If you do want to give something to help make her more comfortable, panadol is more effective for managing a fever - neurofen is not designed for fever - it is more an anti-inflammatory and pain relief (it reduces temps because temp increases due to pain). The tepid washes are great.
