Hi , I have a 11 month old baby girl. She had...

• symptomatic treatment with paracetamol to reduce the symptoms 
• treat the cause 

• urinary infection 
• viral ilness 
• gastroenteritis 
• meningitis 

• abdominal ultrasound to check for the intestines and if they are inflammed oand also to rule out dangerus causes ( rare ones such as appendicitis )
• urinalysis 
• lumber puncture to rule out the meningitis 
• stool analysis for any inflammation 
• CBC  of the blood components to check for the inflammation in the blood 

• in this age its better not to take any risk and if fever is present its resonable to visit the pediatrician for the right diagnosis and the correct treatment 
• theses symptoms that you have mentioned is most likely due to simple gastroenteritis but many diseases which are dangerous might have the same symptoms so thats why we urge you to visit the doctor for follow up
