Do you have a home sub-q fluids set up? If so, some cool fluids might help
bring it down more. You can also wipe the foot pads with rubbing alcohol and
blow on them, the evaporation lowers the body temperature (rinse them well
with cold water after you're done, as the alcohol shouldn't be ingested). If
you have a soft ice pack, you can lay it under her body.

Personally, since she's been ill with URI, I would take her in tonight. They
could put her on IV fluids, which should help both her fever and her nasal
discharge (more fluids thins the secretions and eases congestion). Lemme
see... high fever plus UR symptoms, plus eye discharge.... that would lean
towards Herpes or Calici, the high fever eliminates just about everything
"uncommon". Did you look in her mouth for ulcers?
