4 Day Fever That Won’t Go Away! Any Advice?

Ok.. my daughter who is 19 months old.. developed a low grade fever Friday afternoon which continued on till Sunday, when her temp spiked to 103.6. So we took her to the ER and had her checked out, her only other symptom to the fever is a runny nose, clingy, tired all the time, and a little cough. The docs checked her chest (did an xray), they did a catheter to check for UTI, they did blood work and nothing came back with anything… so they said to continue to do motrin/tylenol every four hours like we have been doing. Today is Tuesday and she still has the fever, not quite so high.. but still restless sleep, eating pretty good I would say, and drinking lots of fluid. But she still has a fever that won’t go away. I called our doc.. but she hasn’t gotten back to us yet!!! So what the heck? I’ve tried luke warm baths, I’ve put only a t-shirt on her to run around in, she sleeps with just a sheet, and she still wakes up crying and whimpering. My DH just got home and we found out our puppy we just got has worms… can this be why my daughter might be sick? I’m going to talk to the doc when she calls, but I’m just wondering if this is a cause? She doesn’t really like the dog, so she doesn’t touch him. And if he goes in the house I immediately pick it up and clean the carpet… so what can cause a fever for 4 days and continuing? And why would the docs not give her antibiotics when she is this sick and obviously her body is trying to fight something off??? Sorry.. just a worried mom who never had to do this with my 3 y/o. Any advice would be great… thanks everyone!!

Her appetite has changed recently. For a few days, she had a much smaller appetite, and now she has a bigger appetite again. And I have been noticing some rice like stuff in her poop. And how hard is it to treat if she does have a tape worm?
