Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
From the description you have given it appears that the patient is suffering from severe dehydration which has lead to cold extremities. I would suggest the following assuming that the frequency of loose motions has stopped.
1. Oral rehydration fluids at least in the range of 1 to 1.5 liters.
2. High carbohydrate liquid diet.
3. Improved oral hygiene.
4. Monitor adequacy of urine output and ensure that the moistness of the tongue is ensured.
I hope this answers your doubt.
