There is a virus going around. West Nile Virus is also a big problem at the moment. I would get her back to the doctor immediatly.

101 for 12 days? 2 month old...

first off, no one here is a pediatrician. You probably need to see one.

Nextly, what fever reducer are you using? If Tylenol/acetaminophen/paracetemol (did I hit every name it seems to go by yet?) then perhaps you should find out from a doctor what dose of ibuprofen to try.

2 months old... what are you feeding the child? It is possible that your daughter has a milk allergy on top of things and needs a soy-based formula to keep food in.

Also, look into using pedialyte (DO NOT USE GATORADE) to replenish electrolytes while she is vomiting and having diharea.

I find it worrysome that you went to an ER, but not a regular pediatrician... do you not have a regular care provider? Admittedly it isn't always feasible with insurance issues, but I would recommend it for the sake of getting conistent care for your child.
