7 Year Old With Flaky, Runny Poo
My daughter has had flaky broken up poo for three days and now it is runny but only very small amounts with a little bit of tummy cramping first. Other than this she is fine in herself, please help...

hello,
welcome to hcm
thanks for the query
if its greasy stool which is very foul smelling then consult the pediatrician
most cases go by there own without treatment. just try to give enough fluids to prevent dehydration
it may be be infective one or due to food poisoning also
it may be due to some medications also.
so better to consult a pediatrician and get evaluated.
take small and light foods. take more amount of fluid.
take care.
