My 7 month old had a very large grey and watery stool this morning. A couple of days ago she had a mild fever that was treated with an over the counter fever reducer. I thought she may have contracted the stomach bug I had a few days ago that gave me a slight fever and diarrhea, but a grey stool to me is concerning... or should it be?
Hi, gray color stool in a 7-month-old child suggest that the child has developed stomach infection mainly acute gastroenteritis. At this age, the infection usually occurs because of taking of fingers of hand in mouth by the child. Give prebiotic like enterogermina ampule once a day for 3 days to increase intestinal immunity. Give more Fluids to child so that the deny Chat Doctor.  If there are loose stools, vomiting, fever, then antibiotics needs to be started. And an examination by doctor should be done so that we may not miss any important finding. Take care.
