🌲I have a mild stomach ache.
🌲I have not thrown up overnight and can drink liquids without throwing up.

🌲I have thrown up two or more times in the past 24 hours.
🌲My stool is watery, and I may not make it to the bathroom in time.

🌲I have stomach pain and fever, I have bloody or black stool, or I am dehydrated (tired and sleepy, dry mouth) and/or I have not urinated in the last 8 hours.
