Dear friend,
This is most likely a stomach flu and not appendicitis. Had it been appendicitis, she would have been very, very sick by now and most likely you would have taken her to the hospital.
Please do see a doctor in A & E and let them assess your daughter for need to give saline or some injections for fever and vomiting.
