She s only eaten two yogurts since yesterday morning and doesn t want to eat or drink she s not even had 8ounce of fluid today and refuses to eat and drink, also she s not sleeping a lot either and If I put her down she starts to cry and pulls me close any help would be appreciated

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for your query,
Not passed urine for 2 days and decreased oral intake of fluids and food are alarming symptoms in a 11 months old child.
This is suggestive of decreased activity and signs of dehydration and the child needs immediate consultation with a Pediatrician to assess his activity, dehydration and to look for the causes of this symptoms and their treatment.
So consult your doctor as early as possible.
In mean time you can give ORS like Pedialyte sips.
Constipation may be due to his decreased oral intake of fluids.
Hope I have answered your query.
