Pediatrician,  's  Response
Fever, cold and diarrhea are usually caused due to certain viruses. It is generally self correcting. But if there loss of water and salts is more than the replenished amount, dehydration may occur which may manifest with cold extremities (shock) and confusion. You should rush the child to the emergency of a hospital without delay. He might need treatment with intravenous fluids.
