Need Medication For Poor Appetite

For the last two days my daughter has had a poor appetite and complaining of a sore tummy in the mornings. Her stool have went from normal to loose grey stools. She is 2 and a half she has never had any health problems in the past and the colour change in her stools is the first ever. Many thanks

Hello, we always worry so much about our babies. . .and with good reason. If her stools are floaty, she is eating too much fat which can cause pain and loose bowels. Try putting her on a clear liquid diet for one day and see if she clears up. If it persists, I would contact her pediatrician. There is a possibility that she just ate something that disagreed with her. Make certain you keep her well hydrated. Don't ever hesitate to take your child in if a problem persists.
