Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Is she sitting hunched up or reluctant to move about too much? If so this could mean she is experiencing tummy pains. Is it particularly hot there today? Does she have things to help her cool down, i.e. frozen water bottles. Rabbits lose heat through her ears so if they are looking red and feel hot it may be that she is uncomfortably warm.

If she is off her food and feels abnormally hot then I would contact a Vet for advice.
Buns in pain tend to have a significant drop in body temperature. A raised temperature would indicate a systemic bacterial infection needing prompt treatment.
