worried1daughter,
It sounds more like she contracted one of the gastrointestinal viruses (rather than the influenza virus). But, with a yellowish appearance to her skin, you worry about something going on with the liver and bile ducts. (Are the whites of her eyes also yellow?)
Patients with a GI virus can become dehydrated very quickly, which can cause problems with many of the other bodily systems. Sometimes, patients medicines have to be adjusted while they are not eating well and have diarrhea.
So, at her age, it is never "just the flu". So if she needs to see a physician, she should go. Unless she is really feeling well and back to her normal self, she should at least be checked out.
Good luck.
