My 5 yr old was hospitalized this week with vomiting ( in excess of23x in 8 hrs) was given iv fluids and zofran. The vomiting subsided but that night began spiking fevers to 39.5 followed by watery diarrhea. They discharged her and we dealt with the diarrhea x 2 more days annd fever and vomiting x 1 day.finally began eating slowly and stools are more loose now but are clay colored. Will this resolve itself. the docs say it was all viral but the clay stool is a new symptom today that the docs are not aware of. They say her abdominal assessment was ok. Should I be concerned or will this resolve on its own
Hello, I just read through your question. This is a very common scenario in this age group. It seems, based on your description, that she is recovering as expected. The clay color stools are a part of that recovery and not a new symptom. You do not need to be concerned. She is doing well. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
