My 6mo DS has had diahorrea for about two days now, with nasty nappy rash that has developed along with it. He has had two bad nights sleep and also a snuffly nose.
Today he has been VERY grizzly and out of sorts, which is most out of character for him. I wasn't overly concerned, as I thought that it must all be teething/general mild cold related, but he has slept more than normal today, has had very red eyes all the time and now I have noticed that he has a warm forehead, although his cheeks are cool.
He also seems very very unhappy in himself and cannot be settled. I don't know whether this is all quite standard stuff and that in time he will get over what seems like teething or a tummy bug, or if I should take him to A&E. I don't want to waste their time.
He started solids a couple of weeks ago so perhaps this is a reaction to something he has eaten?
