8 Year Old, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Cheeks Extremely Red. Advise?
My daughter who is 8 was up all night Friday vomiting until about 5am and then diarrhea all Saturday morning. She won't drink anything. Saturday evening, her cheeks were extremely red. She has only eaten a few oyster crackers. This morning she woke up...cheeks blazing red, but she asked for a bowl of cereal and ate it. She says she's feeling much better...but the red cheeks concern me.
