Child Having Severe Diarrhea And Lost Weight. How He Will Get Back To Normal?
Hi My 3 year old has had following symptoms over the last 9 days Started with sickness for 2 days could keep nothing down not even liquid Seemed better for 2 days back on food etc then started having awful dioreah last week he got very week and lethargic slept pretty much constantly for 2 days. Stool is slightly firmer now but is still a strange pale yellow colour, his appetite is back but he has lost lot of weight. Would have expected his stools to have gone back to normal by now so just a bit concerned?
