Dr. Katharine Cox answered

Specializes in Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Fever/diarrhea: Most often this is caused by a virus. We rarely give any medicines to slow the diarrhea or keep the pathogen inside. If there is blood, a peculiar odor to the stool or the baby is otherwise sick, he may require stool samples and blood work. All the best.

Dr Anyanwu and another doctor agreed
