Should I take her in?

Sky

I should start by saying I'm one of those moms that hears a sneeze and calls the doctor. So I'm asking for opinions considering its 4:19am and I could be overreacting.

My daughter is one, yesterday she had a fever most of the day (abt 12hrs) of 99.2-101.6 but when she woke this morning it was gone so I assumed she was fine. My whole family is sick with sinusitis so I figured maybe she was just catching it. Well, when it went away I assumed all was fine!

Well tonight she's waking every 30-60 minutes. Each time she wakes she screams and screams inconsolably for 10-15 minutes. Which leads to her sounding as though she has croup. I thought "she sounds like she's got mucous" so I turned on a piping hot shower to steam up the bathroom and that actually soothed her. Once she calmed I noticed her skin was REALLY blotchy. (So blotchy my SO noticed it which he never notices that stuff). I honestly have NO idea what's waking her or causing her to cry as she hasn't shown any sign of illness other then the fever that's gone and screaming. She does feel colder then usually though.

My question though is should I take her to the emergency room or wait until morning? She's currently asleep but I'll be awake all night monitoring her. Any tips would be great, thank you!

(I also have the humidifier running now).
