Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 4 month old has had diarrhea for 4 days. It was bright yellow in color until her doctor said to stop the formula and give pedialyte. She s been drinking pedialyte for the past 24 hours now it s light green, mucous and fishy. Should I make another doctor visit?
