Any Suggestion For Kid Suffering From Flu Like Symptoms?

RN Grandma here......My 10 month old granddaughter has flu like symptoms. She had an emesis this past Sunday and then 2 small emesis last pm. These occur at night. She has had 1 BM per day that has been dark green and the consistency has been hard pellets to mushy. No real diarrhea. Her appetite is poor and she normally eats table foods like there is no tomorrow. She has not had a temp. She appears hydrated but very tired. But a couple of hours ago had a BM the consistency and color of soft butter. I am not a pediatric nurse and really don't want to take her to the Pediatrician as I feel it is probably viral. Need an answer as my daughter is in school and is a nurse, too.
