Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Decreases urination during illness could be due to mild dehydration as insensible fluid loss is more during colds fevers etc. Another cause is the effect of medications ongoing for the illness.However it doesn't seem a sign of danger as the child is otherwise playful, active . Assuming the child is breastfed increase your water consumption ( mothers) and do give frequent feedings to improve your baby's hydration. If water is given to baby make sure it's boiled n sterile.If problem persists beyond a week or worsens consult the pediatrician .
regards
