: Viral infection usually causes fever in the evening and at night. You can give her tylenol liquid in the afternoon and before bedtime. However, most viral illness will subside after 3-5 days so if symptoms persists past 5 days you daughter should be evaluated her pediatrician. Make sure she is taking fluid well during the day time.
