Suggest Treatment For High Fever And Severe Dehydration In A Child

My four year old has an unexplained fever of 102.6. She isn't eating or drinking. Should I be concerned about dehydration? What do I look for? She hasn't wanted to drink anything for two days, is usually a bed wetter and has been dry three nights now. The fever started yesterday afternoon.
