Patient's question:
At one year old, the baby had a fever of 38.8 yesterday and had a bowel movement four times in a day. It wasn't watery. Today, the fever was between 37.7 and 38.5, and there were two bowel movements—the second one was egg-like and very watery. The baby hasn't urinated much in a day. Could they be dehydrated?Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant, your child's condition may be caused by catching a cold, leading to diarrhea. It is recommended to give your baby a lot of probiotics to alleviate the symptoms, and also to include more light meals in their diet recently.
