Acidy, runny stools, caused by teething?

Question

My 7 mo old has had acidy, runny stools since last night.  Every diaper I have chaged today has been poopy, and they are acidy enough that his little bottom is bright red.
A few days ago he had a fever and was really cranky and just not himself... I was going to call the Dr. the next day, but the fever broke & he was fine.  I chalked it up to teething, but now this w/ the diarhia.  No fever this time.

Yes, the teething can cause those poo's. Be sure to change often to prevent nappy rash and if you become concerned its more than that, go to your GP. A mother knows her child best.

If his fever lasts more than 48 hours or spikes ridiculously high you should take him in to the doctor. Other than that, low-grade fevers are natural and helpful to your baby. Teething is a huge inflammatory process for infants, and the diarrhea/diaper rash and runny nose and crankiness is normal, although painful for everyone involved. I feel your pain, my 11 month old is working on a new set of molars, and has all the same symptoms! Good luck.

It could be that he is teething. Just make sure you keep his bottom dry and try letting him play in the tub for a little while longer than usual. Make sure you use some sort of diaper rash creme constantly and keep him happy. The good news is that this will pass shortly! :)

diarhea is a common sign of teething, but you should call his doctor's office because he could have an ear infection or something going on
