make a fuss

Talking about a kid at school who complained of a headache, what/which is unusual for her, her teacher said: 'She doesn't normally make a fuss'. What does it mean? She doesn't normally complain?

(...which is unusual for her...)

Yeah, I've just made an appointment.

A fuss is a commotion over something unimportant.

A fuss is a commotion over something unimportant.

Not necessarily to the person making a fuss, River. Think of an arachnophobe seeing a spider.
