Calling Your Health Care Provider

Call your health care provider if unable to keep fluids down and symptoms of dehydration occur, including low urine output, faintness or dizziness, dry mouth, sunken appearance to the eyes, sunken fontanelle (soft spot on an infant's head), and confusion.

Also call if diarrhea persists for more than several days or if blood is noted in the stool.
