Hi..teething will not cause these symptoms. But the teeth are erupting the kids tend to keep anything they find in the mouth to sooth the sensation and the dirt and microbes on the surfaces will cause diarrhoea.

Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D drops 1ml once daily for 14 days) & ORS (Each small packet mixed in 200ml of potable water and keep giving sip by sip) as hydration is very important and crucial part of treatment. If there is vomiting you can use Syrup Ondansetron (as prescribed by your paediatrician).
