Could The Gatorade Cause Diarrhea To Be Red Colored In Child?
I have a 6 month old with rsv. She has had water diarrhea for a week now. It has been light brown mucus until turning brownish red mucus today. I have given her nothing but red gatorade last night and up until her last bottle. Could the gatorade cause it to be red colored?

Hi...gatorade might cause red colour but at the same time it could also be blood in the motion i suggest you go to a pediatrician and decide if she needs antibiotics. but i assure you there is no need to panic if there is good amount of urine output and if she is active.
