Fever: Why your child is still having fever could be for several causes, but at the end of the day you need to take them back to the doctor who prescribed the orelox in the first place for another evaluation. It could be that your child has a viral illness and antibiotics do not treat viruses. It could be failure of the antibiotic to cover for the bacteria making her sick or the dose is not adequate.
