My 11 month old had fever a few days ago which lasted 24 hrs (highest at 38.3 C). started having mild cough with a little phlegm today and I ve heard her sneeze a few times. Also, she had loose and slimy stool - almost diarrohea like. She s definitely teething (expecting her first molars next). any prognosis / diagnosis?
Cough, fever, sneezing, phlegm may suggest upper respiratory infection. Medications like paracetamol and decongestants may relieve symptoms. Teething itself does not cause diarrhea but causes few loose stools which are due to excessive salivation reaching gut due to gum tenderness and swelling of teething. This also results in baby putting unhygienic tethers, objects etc. in their mouth resulting in infection. For few loose motions which are not causing child deny Chat Doctor.
