Is Flying Safe While Child Is Suffering From Diarrhea And Fever?
Hi, my 11 months old son has had diarrhea and fever for the last 3 days. We are currently in vacation in Romania (from Canada) and we have our flight back home in a couple of days. He is also teething (two upper front teeth just came out). We saw a doctor in Romania who prescribed him an antibiotic two days ago but today his fever seems higher. Would it be too dangerous to travel with him in these conditions (the flight is approximately 15 hours long). Is it common in children his age or should we pannic re. fever and diarrheaÉ

it's not safe to travel with diarrhea and fever as ur journey time is more and there are chances of having dehydration and sometimes even convulsions if fever is high.
