Hi dear
104 is quiet high so if it's persistently this high then u might need iv paracetamol
Try taking dolo 650 three times a day and do cold sponging if temperature is above 101
But if it's persisting then better to admit her and do the required tests to find out the cause of fever
Take care

Immediately she needs a tablet of Paracetamol (after she has eaten something, maybe a biscuit) .
In addition she needs cold sponging to bring the temperature down to 100° F.
She should be in a cool room with cross ventilation. No unnecessary coverings for her body.
Look after her hydration.
If you can organise, get some Lab technician to take her blood samples for CBC and Malaria antigen.
