Look in her mouth and see if the inside of her heeks has any white spots. These koplik's spots pecede the rash in measles and give a good indication to if it is measle so not.

It may just be a virus, there are some really nasty ones about at the moment. I'd get her to the gp though to rule out anything nasty.
