Thanks for all of the feedback - I did contact student emergency services at her university, and she, too suggested if at all possible, going and getting a look at her - see how sick she really is/determine if another doctor visit is needed, etc.

So, I am off first thing in the morning to see first-hand if I need to be more aggressive - if she needs to go in for IV fluids, etc.

They also told me, like some of you suggested, that what they see so much is the student that tries to keep going, keeps getting sicker, grades suffer, and then they end up missing more school/classes than if they had just taken those days off initially.

So…we’ll see what happens -

Thanks again for the input!
