hi all. had a 3 week old male today with 2 day hx of snotty nose, vomitted X 3 this past week(unassociated with feedings), 4-5 wet diapers/day, diarrhea 2-3x/day for 2 days, no fever, is irritable, taking feedings as usual. brother has viral uri. on pe: no positive findings except irritability and a snotty nose.well-hydrated. I diagnosed this as a viral syndrome and told mom to watch for signs of dehydration and to bring him to the ER if fever >102 or if he stops feeding. Would anyone have done anything different? those little ones < 6 months are so unpredictable, status can change so quickly and they can present with pretty benign findings. ANy thoughts?
