What Causes Pale Color Stool After Diarrhea For A Few Days?
My one year old has had diarrhea for a few days now and it has turned a very pale color and is very gritty. It's almost impossible to wipe off and leaves his bottom very raw. I am wondering if we need to take him in to be seen? He's otherwise fine, though recently recovered from pneumonia, RSV, and two year infections all at once (which required hospitalization). Thank you.

HI
Well come to HCM
Thank for choosing HCM, it seems to be antibiotic induces diarrhea it is advisable to stop the antibiotic if it is being given to child, without the antibiotic such diarrhea could be due to diet but it is not the sign of any infection I would suggest to try Lyophilized Lactobacillus three time in day according to weight of patient, else it is nothing to worry hope this information helps.
