Hello doctor! My baby had a fever for 2 days, the first day only fluctuated 37.8, the second day the fever was 38.4. I gave her a fever reducer and the temperature was reduced to 37.2, but she had watery stools.
So the doctor asked me: "The child's fever has subsided after taking the medicine, but there is water in the stool, should I take him to the doctor?". Thanks for the advice and answers!

Children with fever accompanied by stools, watery stools are unusual signs, may be related to gastrointestinal infections.
