It’s been three hours now and she seems fine but has complained her belly hurts. She’s responsive and everything.
I read the tobacco pouch has 6.4mg of nicotine. She only drank my spit.
Is there anything I need to keep an eye out for?

FYI there was only ice left in my cup. I’m not sure how much had melted.

Doctor, I have kept daughter well hydrated. She also ate dinner and had a fairly normal afternoon after the first 30 minutes of being slightly off. Vomiting never occurred.
Is there anything I should be worried overnight? Should I watch her?
