Should I wake her up to see a doctor, or wait how she feels tomorrow?

Customer: replied 1 year ago.

Right now I can only take her to the Emergency Room at the hospital...

Expert:  Pediatrician replied 1 year ago.

If none of the above mentioned (the four points) had occured, you can wait till tomorrow morning.
If any of them had occurred, take her to ER immediately.
