It is possible that the child's malaria infection has not been fully treated. It is important to seek medical attention immediately for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. The child may need to be evaluated for other possible causes of fever, such as a bacterial infection. It is not recommended to give any medication without consulting a healthcare professional first.

Monitor temperature and breathing. Children's Motrin or Tylenol for fever treatment. The dose is based on weight. The fever may be prolonged, follow prescription as written. Please follow up with your Pediatrician to ensure that the medication is the right treatment and that there is no other cause of her fever. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and vomiting.
