my 16 month old has yellow, really watery stool. It smells so bad, it’s offensive..?
Bythe dog wont even go near him. He doesn’t act like he’s sick until he’s sleeping, then it’s constant fussing. (even while he’s sleeping)
The day before yesterday he was throwing up, didn’t want anything to do with anything. He couldn’t cuddle with me because he was already too hot, and I made him hotter.(fever from 102-103) He just laid in his old baby glider, gliding back and forth.
He just started with the yellow diarrhea yesterday. I’m not even kidding, you can smell the sick in it. It’s really bad.
Wondering if this is a bug that’s going around, or does it sound a little more serious? Thanks~
Okay, maybe I should tell you that his fever is GONE now.
It was very well taken care of with Motrin.

He’s just not well, make sure he is hydrated with a lot of water and especially some electrolyte replacement such as Pedialyte or Gatorade. Yup you can smell that he’s not well, it’s because he’s not and his body is shedding the lining of his intestines to clear the bug. If he at all appears lethargic, has sunken eyes, stops urinating or the urine is dark bring him in to see his doctor.

You should bring him to the doctors just to be safe.He could be allergic to something and you don’t even know it!

What kind of mother are you?!! A high fever can cause brain damage to a baby.
If you don’t take him to the doctor NOW you may soon be attending his funeral. Child neglect includes not getting proper medical care for your sick child…and this is neglect. THE BABY’S ILLNESS IS VERY SERIOUS. Get off the effin’ computer and take the baby to the doctor.

This exact thing happened to my son when he started teething and continues to happen every time a new tooth starts to come out. Have you noticed his gums a little swollen or even a bit redder than normal? Have all his teeth came in yet? If they have then maybe you should take him to the doctor. My son’s stool was exactly the same way you described yours, and he also was doing the throwing up and he could hardly keep anything down. I took him to the doctor and all they could recommend was to keep him on liquids and baths to keep his fever down. If his fever stays at 103 then I would definitely take him in to see his pediatrician. If not, I am convinced that it is probably his teeth. Try some baby orajel on his gums to soothe him that way he can sleep better. Good Luck!

I don’t know where you live, but I have been so sick to my stomach for the past couple of days. Ugh. I thought it was some salmon I ate, but now I think it is a bug since the Dr. said it was going around.
