Child and infant fever - Warning
Feverish infants can get dehydrated very quickly, because they have a large body surface in proportion to their fluid volume. When babies have high temperatures, parents should give frequent bottles of plain water or a commercial infant rehydration product. You can easily make your own rehydrating solution by dissolving Y2 cup of dry, precooked baby rice cereal in 2 cups of water with 1/4 tablespoon of salt. The mixture should be thick, but still pourable and drinkable.
