You can take her temperature rectally if you want to determine if she has a fever. Normal body temperature for a dog is 101 - 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit (38.3 to 39.2 degrees Celsius). If you applied Ridd and you feel like it is making her sick then you should wash the product off and have her examined by a vet for treatment. I also recommend that you talk to your vet about using a better flea/tick prevention, like Frontline, NexGard, Bravecto, Advantage, etc.
