Should I Meet Doctor For Fever And Foul Smelling Bowel Movement Of A 8 Week Baby?

Hi, my 8 week old son has a slight fever (still within normal range - just feels warm) and last 2 diapers are quite strong smelling with small orange stain? Should I go to the emergency room at the hospital or wait to visit a medical centre tomorrow? Thanks

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. Thank you for your question. If your son is otherwise well, feeding well and behaving as per usual, there is no need to run to an ER. However, I recommend consulting with your doctor as soon as they open.
