What Causes Chalky Diarrhoea In A Child?

My daughter is 12 months old, had 3 BM today that were chalky and off white, she has had a fever for the past two days that I thought was due to teething...Our Ped Dr. wants to see her tomorrow for lab work, should I take her to the ER today or wait until the morning?

Pediatrician 's  Response
the colour of the stools is really not important unless it contains blood or is red in colour. if your child is passing urine well , eating well and is not very dull then its ok and you can see your doctor on the respective day. till then give ORS to your baby. I hope this satisfies your query
