My four years girl has stomach flu. Can she dehydrate?

I am so worried for my four years old girl. She never had any serious illness so far and now she has stomach flu and suffers from it for three. Can she dehydrate? I think I am giving her enough fluids (tea, juices) but I am still worried. Her temperature is fine so far. Well, at least that is good. So, what should I do?

Dehydration is possible if she has problem with stool (in fluid form) and if she sweats a lot. Perhaps you could take her to the doctor if her condition does not get better in a day or two. Or maybe you can do it right away, just in case. I mean, I am sure that it is nothing serious, but why worrying when a simple med check can tell you if there is something serious going on.
