Probably viral: Losing her voice as in laryngitis is frequently a viral upper respiratory infection. You can call your pediatrician's call service for more advice or to make a next day appointment. In the meantime, tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen for fever to make her comfortable, fluids, and rest for now. If she becomes short of breath, has a high fever over 102, is not alert or able to be woken up normally, after hours.

Depends: How old is your daughter? How long has she had a fever and how high? If your daughter is older than 3 months and fever has been less than 2 days and if pt is not in any distress then you can monitor at home for now. Based on the symptoms described this is most likely a viral URI causing laryngitis. If pt's fever > 101 and persisting for > 48 hrs and pt coughing a lot see the doctor soon
