1yr diarrhea for the past 3-4 days. yellowish in color. md says due to teething could continue till teeth come. signs of dehydration?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Follow urine output: The first sign of dehydration is decreased urine output. Try to replace diarrheal losses with an electrolyte solution to keep up with her fluid requirements. After urine output stops the child becomes lethargic and weak. I recommend you have your child seen by her doctor if she is unable to take in enough fluids to have 5-6 wet diapers a day. Sooner if she becomes weak or lethargic.
