My sixteen month old had yellow diarrhea now for about 2 weeks...he went to whole milk and then I went back to just straight formula for 6 days to see if it cleared up a little it didn t just wasn t as yellow but was still pooping 4 to 5 times a day still...3 molars are coming in at once I know they say that doesn t cause it but my other two kids def had diarrhea when teething....is it a stomach infection, teething, lactose problem...no fever, seems happy during the day was never a good sleeper so still wakes 3 or 4 times a night...was wondering if I should go to the doctor tomorrow??
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The diarrhea can be secondary to the eruption of the teeth called teething disorder. During teething there will be itching over the gums, and you will be feeling like biting over the gums. So kids usually put there fingers inside the mouth and start massaging that area. In this process contaminated fingers result in infection and cause diarrhea. Nothing to be panic, it's a self limiting condition. If it does not stop in 5 days, consult an oral physician. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
