Diarrhoea and dehydration
Loose or watery stool, usually from an infection. In a child the danger is almost never the diarrhoea itself - it is losing more fluid than they take in.
Intestinal worms
Parasites in the gut, picked up from soil, unwashed food or untreated water. Very common in children and easy to treat.
Toothache
Usually decay reaching the nerve, or an infection at the root. Pain relief buys time; it does not fix the tooth, and the problem continues underneath it.
