Question
My one-year-old baby had a fever of 38.8°C yesterday, with diarrhea four times a day, not loose. Today, the fever is between 37.7°C and 38.5°C, with two bowel movements, the second being loose, resembling egg flower, and almost no urine output all day. Will the baby dehydrate?
Answer
Dear inquirer, the baby’s condition may be due to cold-induced diarrhea. It is suggested to give the baby some probiotics to alleviate the symptoms and to ensure a diet of light and easy-to-digest foods in the near future.
