could be Influenza B... just found out that my oldest had it, and its spreading like wild fire!! they told us as long as we keep him hydrated, and give him somthing for his cough that it will eventually go away on its own. My son hates pediolyte to but gatorade and powerade have electrolytes in them to so they work the same.

Good luck hope your little one gets better soon!

I would say yes. As long as she's getting something to drink. It's suppose to be a good thing to rehydrate yourself. So I don;t see why not. It's better then nothing at all.
