Hi..
Thanks for the query..
It could have been a viral fever where red eyes can happen..
Cold sponging is good to reduce the temperature..
You can just give paracetemol for fever.
You can wait for 2 days and if there are any other symptoms like vomitings, diarrhea or stomach pain take her to the doctor immediately for better treatment..
Take care...
