    Any other symptoms? Please alternate tylenol with Motrin every 3 hours and get her to the doctor in the morning. In the meantime make sure she is drinking plenty of fluids so that she foes not dehydrate. Popsicles and jello are good.

    If the fever doesn't go down with the meds you should take her to the ER.
