this can happen sometimes when the fever is rising that the medicine takes time to lower the fever, especially in high grade fevers. also if the child is dehydrated, the medicine will not be able to lower the body temperature. another factor could be if u cover up the febrile child, the body temperature could keep rising, inspite of receiving of medicine.
Next Steps
give her plenty of fluids, sponge her down from top to toe and make her wear light comfortable clothes
