    Dr. James Fortenberry of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta answered:

    The real danger of diarrhea is that it can cause your child to become dehydrated (dried out). Your child may also have a mild fever or vomiting (throwing up). A child with vomiting, fever and diarrhea may become dehydrated more quickly.
