My 4 1/2 year old son developed diarrhea 3 days ago. I assumed it was just gastrointeritis. The stool is yellow snd very foul smelling. Is this color typical of stomach bug or should I be concerned? How long should I expect the diarrhea to last? Thanks

Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.
