It seems so trivial, but I am still looking for the correct translation. Context:
Mi niña tiene 24 horas de andar con diarrea, vomito y calentura.
My translation:
It has been 24 hours/ one day since my little girl has been suffering from diarrhea and temperature.
Is it ok?
Mi niña tiene 24 horas de andar con diarrea, vomito y calentura.
My translation:
It has been 24 hours/ one day since my little girl has been suffering from diarrhea and temperature.
Is it ok?
