I would try to get her to drink some liquids and see if she is able to keep them down. I would give her small sips and see how she does. I would also give her an appropriate dose of Tylenol to bring her fever down as that may help her to feel better overall. You also need to monintor that she is urinating as there can be risk of dehydration although at this age less than if she is younger. If she is still not drinking over next few hours, or if her fever does not come down, you need to have her evaluated. Wishing her a speedy recovery!
