Hello,

If the child got too concentrated milk formula, he may not be taking enough water with it. So, I would advise you to make sure he breastfeeds often, take the normally diluted formula milk and if he is over 4 months of age, you can add some water as well.
Check his temperature and give him paracetamol if he has a fever. Try to not overdress the child and protect him from heat.

If he still is not feeding well, please or still feels hot, please send him to be seen by a doctor.

I hope I have answered your query and have been helpful to you. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.

Regards,
