Thank you for sharing; it is amazing that something as "simple" as not drinking enough water could lead to something as "scary" as our kids fainting. We have heard from quite a few parents that their child fainted for a few seconds/minutes when they are sick with strep throat...and the doctors remedy was to drink plenty of fluids. This does make sense, as our kids may not be consuming enough water or liquids if it is painful for them to swallow.
I hope your daughter is feeling better, and that her fainting episode was not too traumatic on either one of you!
