Could The Temperature And Loose Stools Be Due To Teething?

My 16 month old grand baby ran a slight temp for about 3 days. No other symptoms presented other than being a little cranky. Now no temp but she is having loose bowel movements. Not sure if this is even related to the temp. Could this be teething? She won t let us look in her mouth. She cut 8 teeth at one time a couple of months ago.

Hi dear, it often happens during teething ,because infection comes with dirty things,which baby bites and infectious saliva from mouth also causes diarrhea.
I suggest
-Enterogermina 1 sachet daily for 5 days.
-ORS
-Try to keep baby hydrated with plenty of water.
-Nitrofurantoin 1/2 tablet 3 times a day after meal for 7 days.
-Z&D syrup
-Rice diet,boiled water from pomegranate peels also stop diarrhea(50ml 3 times a day)
