Normally fevers cannot be precisely diagnosed and cured on the first day. However in case of high fever she should be under the observation of a doctor for any significant sign. I think you should continue medications prescribed along with strict bed rest, plenty of oral liquids even if vomits, cold towels over forehead, and cold water sponging of body regularly till fever is on lower side. Dr. May advise some more tests on 4th day or 7th day if indicated. High neutrophil at least now suggests bacterial infection and appropriate medication is given. Reviewal later may be necessary.

The exact cause of one day old fever is very difficult to find. Respiratory tract infection especially upper may be possible cause. WIDAL takes 1 week to be positive. Continue Cefixime and Paracetamol. Consult doctor if no relief after 4-5 days.
