Transactions can only be confirmed when their parent transaction is confirmed. Certain miners would mine both the child and the parent transaction if the fees are high enough.
You would probably need a much more fees for a fast confirmations and without the details of the transaction it would be hard to estimate how much is required. Do you mind sharing the transaction IDs?
