Thank you for the query. I would want to know the age and body weight of your daughter. As per the history provided by you, she is having high grade fever, along with chills and rigor, with some disorientation. With these symptoms, I would advise you to consult your doctor/pediatrician as soon as possible.

Wet cloth application and tepid sponging may provide symptomatic relief, but an antipyretic like paracetamol needs to be given (dose to adjusted as per her age and weight)I would also advise you to get some blood investigations done like White blood cell count, He, ESR, electrolytes (sodium/potassium), C-reactive protein, which may give an idea about the type and severity of infection. If it's a bacterial infection, antibiotics need to be started. Give your daughter plenty of fluid (she needs to be adequately HY Chat Doctor. Hope this helps you.
