Fever is a reaction of the body to different pyrogens released during any Infection. Usually temp more than 99 F is taken as fever .
Mostly in children fever is because of viral infections like flu or RSV where the fever is there for 4-5 days but may persist even upto 2 weeks .
Initially antipyretic like paracetamol is given in a dose of 15 mg / kg/ dose. Can be repeated after 4-6 hrs if needed .
Lukewarm sponge bath can be given as home remedy to decrease fever. 
Adequate fluid intake is also beneficial. 
Urine output monitoring is necessary to avoid dehydratrion .

Answer

You can repeat the medicine again after six hours and 104 is an extremely high fever so I would recommend you to check with the nearest doctor as well if you have a possibility of visiting the hospital please go ahead with that because China is extremely high fever also do cold sponging that will help in breaking the temperature
