Call your Dr.: What is her actual temperature? Really hot doesn't mean anything. What medicine did you give her? If she has fever, repeat her tylenol (acetaminophen) every 6 hours. Keep offering her liquids to drink. No more alcohol baths. It can be dangerous.It can cool too rapidly causing shivering that just increases temp.It can also be absorbed and cause alcohol poisoning. Just give plain tepid baths to lower temp. Repeat.
