My son is 5 and on Monday had a temp so kept him off school, was drinking and eating small amounts, so gave nurofen.
Tuesday, constant runs, mainly brown water and stomach cramps, bum was red raw so nipped out last night and bought nappy cream, he was at the toilet at least 20 times (lost count). Ate and drank small amounts.
Today, he was up at 7am, passed some more brown water and I've managed to get him back to sleep (still sleeping), he had a drink before going back.
Should I call the doctors? Im worried he will get dehydrated, he's eating so little he's usually very active and slim, now I can see his ribs .
