A member asked:

M 4 yo son has fever, diarrhea, vomiting, congestion and cough. hiked all day, 80 degrees out, worried about dehydration. won't eat or drink much.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dehydration: If not eating or especially drinking much and if has less urine than normal, he might become dehydrated and potentially need IV fluids. Keep in mind that fever can lead to dehydration as well. The hiking shouldn't lead to fever or any of the other symptoms, unless heat stroke which shouldn't happen in 80 degree weather. Sounds like an infection.
