My son is two in a half and has not peed since 1030 am.he has a cold and a slight temp should I bring him to the hospital?

You should give him plenty of weak tepid fluids before you do that. He's possibly dehydrated. Most people stop or greatly reduce peeing when they have a fever.

Also give him children's tylenol and take his temp 30 minutes later, but not right after he drinks something. This is what you would have to wait to have done in the ER, and they can get annoyed if you haven't done it first.

I've been trying to give him fluids he takes one sip and he's done which is not like him my son loves to drink he always drinks and has about 8 to 10 sippy cups from the time he wakes up tillcthe time he goes to bed I've alsovgoven him tylenol and motrin because his temp goes from 99.5 up to 100.6 and back down every half hour

You can try freezing it. If you can't get fluids in him, please call your pediatrician.

Thanks I will

Popsicles are great for kids with fevers.

Gatorade is good too. :)
