Not about time: If she is getting worse, not drinking or becoming lethargic, take her now.

Fever: Give Ibuprofen every 6 hours (if not allergic), cold liquids (ice chips, popsicles, pedialyte, juice any liquid he likes). If fever are over 101, vomiting, lethargic, abdominal pain, unusual rash, diarrhea then is better to see doctor tonight.
