I took him to the doctor today and he has to get some lab work done. By the way he just turned 3 months. For about a week off and on hes had diahrrea, low grade fever, loss of appetite, very cranky, crying all day, chewing on what he can, mucous in his stools, drooling, very fidgity, just cant hold still, and his face he gets really red. He used to have 1-2 stools a day now its 6-8. But today he had 11 stools and very loose, mostly watery. I have never been so freaked out. But we wont know anything until all the tests come back. If hes still like this tomarrow, Im going to take him to the ER. The dr didnt think I needed to until the tests come back. Im giving him pediolite inbetween every feeding and tylenol. The dr said alot of times with mucous in the stools means an infecton. I have no idea whats wrong and I dont know what to do for the poor guy. I feel terrible. I dont think I can wait for the tests. What should I do? Does anyone have an idea what it could be?? Please Help!!
