The red eyes are probably result of the fever and dehydration. A tepid bath and fever reducer medicine may help. The vomiting may make it difficult to give the medicine and fluids may be needed. Sometimes children will have a seizure when they have a very high fever. You need to find out what is causing the fever Call a doctor right away or go to your ER.
(I hope that you read this later when you return from seeing the doctor and she is much better!)

Her eyes are probably a symptom of the fever, you need to call a Dr right away. The biggest danger is dehydration and I think that's what the eyes are telling you. Give her a teaspoon of water every 10 minutes. If you have Gatorade that has the electrolytes that she is loosing through dehydration. She needs the electrolytes replaced right away. Even if she throws it all back up, some liquid is getting in, keep trying to give her small amounts.
Don't bother with juice or sodas. Popsicles would help if she can stomach it. If you have children's Motrin, that will help with fever, again even if she throws it up, some will get in. But call Dr now!!! Please post how she is doing

She might have some sort of eye infection, but then they would most likely be draining and tearing and with some distored vison.
What worries me the most is the temp in a child that yound compounded with vomiting......easily could lead to dehydration. This child should recieve medical attetion immediatly. Try getting pedialyte down......if that won't work then take regualr jello and dissolve as directed and try to feed it the before it sets. My mother did this with me when I was very young with a high fever and I was able to actually take in the fluid. Get on this right away. Dedehydration is fatal in children.

You got the bird flu. No I'm just kidding. You need to see a doctor, because those symptoms could mean anything. 104 temp is serious. Her eyes are most likely red from all the throwing up.

104 is seriously dangerous!! If you do not act fast, permanent brain damage can result. Normal temp is 98.6F
Take her to an emergency room or call 911.
My thoughts are with you, I hope she gets better.

First of all give her 2 teaspoonfuls of Motrin or Tylenol before taking her to te ER ,by the time you get there the temp.might go down. If she can't tolerate any fluids is best if you take her as soon as possible. Please do it fast lady!!!!!!!!
