Kid health issue question. We have a stomach bug in the house. My 8 yr old never vomited but ate very little for about 36 hours, just some crackers and fruit and water. Woke up this morning shaking and barely speaking. No fever, Sp02 was normal, pulse around 100. Gave her gatorade and some smarties candy and she perked up and is now fine. My mom is freaking out and wants me to take her to the doctor. I am NOT taking her in to a Flu infested place when she is feeling fine now. I'm watching her closely. I will call her pediatrician on monday to inform them and see what they say. Am I missing something here? Is there anything a doctor could do right now that I'm not doing? Is this indicative of some other issue?

I'd just think she was dehydrated and had super low blood sugars. If she's perking up then I tend to agree with you. I'd probably try to ask her questions about stuff & see if she's 'all there', kwim? About shows she watches or books or stories or games. If all tracks normal, follow up tomorrow.

She's totally with it now. Using words like "properly" and "nibble" and complete sentences. Just watched a movie and followed along normally.
