Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar and I am pleased to assist you.
Kids are more prone for dehydration when they have diarrhea.
This has to be prevented.
A dry tongue and decreased urine output are indicators of dehydration.
Enough fluids including electrolyte solution like pedialyte should be given to prevent dehydration.
A stool test should be done to look for infection. Based the stool test report medication may be given.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.Ratnakar
