Help for sick baby

The past 2 days my son hasn't been able to sleep good through out the night. He's been more fussy than usual. This morning I made him waffles for breakfast and he only took 2 bites and wouldn't eat anymore. I gave him some Tylenol and he almost puked when he took it but he usually does really good with medicine. He won't drink his juice or water or nurse. He's wearing a long sleeve shirt and a diaper and he's so sweaty on his head. I can't put him down without him freaking out. I took his forehead temperature and it was 97 but he feels on the warmer side to touch. He also hasn't pooped since Thursday. Does anyone know what kind of sickness this sounds like? And should i take him to see a doctor?

How long has it been since your son properly nursed? Are you feeling any kind of illness within yourself? I would make him an appointment for Monday to be checked out and that will give you a full day tomorrow to observe him. It's always scary when their eating is off, but he should be okay since the symptoms just started. It could be something as simple as teething, but it is flu season. My son just got over a stomach bug, he had the opposite BM problem. I would also try a rectal or armpit reading as they are more accurate. Try fruits like plum, peaches, and prunes to help his BM. Just let him be naked and close to you if possible. Taking a bath together may also help.

@Mila he nursed an hour ago and fell asleep. He woke up screaming and crying but fell back asleep. I don't feel sick. I'll try a different method to take his temperature. I do know he is teething but he didn't act this way when his other 4 teeth were coming in. If he's still acting not like himself tomorrow I'm going to schedule him a doctor's appointment. I was just worried about taking him in today

Butternut squash makes my girl have good BM. She loves butternut squash. She seems to not care for fruit as much although its strange cause i accidentally started her on fruits before veggies 😅 i got worried she wouldnt like veggies because i did that. I hate when they wake up screaming and crying 🥺 my girl did that when she was sick and i just wanted her to feel better. I hope your boy gets to feeling better soon and that this is just teething or something minor
