Pediatrician,  's  Response
fever and diarrhoea are sings of gastroenteritis which is an infection of the intestine usually caused by a virus and doesn't warrant antibiotic therapy .
6-7 motions a day can cause dehydration . you can observe that by noticing that he is getting thirsty, decreased urination and dry skin and lips .
hydration and fluid managment is very important in this case , you can give ORS , give 900 ml in the first 4 -6hours to overcome the deficit .
you can give SMECTA sachets which helps in decreasing the amount of diarrhoea for a couple of days .
I hope this helps
