Get to ER now.: Hospital is close by . Go Now. Can be altitude effect and dehydration -- you are at 7,000 ft. Son schooled there and I spent plenty of time there. Easy to dehydrate, especially for a young person with far less body weight than adult and with physical activity and sweating. Go, Go. Good Luck.

ER or Urgent care: If you feel that something is wrong, drive to the ER or urgent care, because you know what’s best for your child. Good luck!
