Likely viral...: Your daughter is lucky that a stomach virus is not something that she has to experience often; however, there is no "limit" that is set in stone... meaning "once per year". With exposure, there is potential to become symptomatic. Things like started school/daycare tend to increase the amount of illnesses one experiences due to increased exposure. Clear fluids, rest to treat. If persists - be seen
