My 9 month old has had diarrhea for 3 days now shes refusing fluids. she has been drinking about 12 oz a day. im worried shes going to get dehydrated. it started out as a cold, runny nose and mucusy coughs. i just figured her swallowing the mucus was making her not eat and have diarrhea but now im not sure. advice?
Hi... It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. 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.
