Evaluation: The baby may have an infection of the GI tract, please see your pediatrician. Monitor for any rectal temperature of 100. 4 or higher and if this occurs, additional testing will be performed in the Emergency room. Continue to feed as usual, monitor temperature and please see your pediatrician. A KUB imaging study may be ordered by your PCP.
