Exhaust fans
Install one or two exhaust fans on the roof or near roof on the walls.
And try to analyze the point of entry and exit of fresh air in your room. Install those fams at the exit point. And, if you live on the top floor, and your roof gets really hot during the afternoon then either spray water on the roof in evening or apply some insulation. Either use commercial service which is expensive, or buys broken clay pots and spread on your roof.
