What else ? : Many simple self healing viruses present with such symptoms. If the kid is able to take in meals & fluids well enough to stay hydrated, plays some during the day and gets good rest, you may be able to monitor it at home. If she lays around doing nothing, has no appetite & won't drink, or otherwise spooks you I would take her in.
