Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Stomach Virus,stool Pale Yellow,loose Stool,lost Appetite
My 20 month old had a 24 hr stomach virus a few days ago and ever since his stool has been pale yellow and very loose. He is also eating but a lot less. Should I call the dr?
If he is still eating (although) less and is not having diarrhea (watery or loose stools more than 5 times per day), then, you can wait for some more days before sending to the doctor.
Meanwhile, give him to drink lots of water and fruit juices, together with oral rehydration salts.
If he will not get improvement and feel again sick with diarrhea and/or vomiting, ask for medical help immediately.
Hope it helped!
