Hi
A ususal Flu like disease last for around 7 days. However at the end of 5-7 days, if the fever is showing an upward trend, it would be wise to get her blood tested or at least consult your nearest pediatrician. Neverthless see that your baby's hydration is maintained by continuing breast feeding.
