    Sounds a bit more like gastro or some sort of viral infection to me, but it could be teething.

    As far as dehydration is concerned, nappies are the best indicator. If she hasn't had a good wet nappy by the morning, then I would consider seeing your doctor or taking her to your local ED.

    Don't forget the good old lemonade icy poles. Whenever DD is off her fluids she will always have a icypole/custard. Give her the hydrolyte frozen. She will probably like the icypole.

    Either way hun, which ever way you can get it in. If she falls asleep, let her sleep. But if she is unsettled, take her in if you can't get her to take any fluids in.

    Anything over 38 is something to monitor. Listen to Schmickers as he's a paediatric nurse, he'd know best trust me, I ask him all the time

    If her last wet nappy was now yesterday morning, then definitely get her seen if she doesn't seem significantly better this morning.
