Give ORS.
Mix one packet of ORS in one liter clean water. Keep giving sips.. upto 40 to 50ml after each loose stool. If he is not accepting ORS, or vomiting everything, becoming dull.. consult immediately. For fever, do tepid sponging, give paracetamol.
Baby weight is needed to suggest dose.

Depends on the severity of dehydration
If the baby is passing urine adequately (usually more than 6-8 times a day) nothing to worry about..
If the urine output is less,baby is cranky
Kindly consult your nearby Pediatrician
