Suggest Treatment For Frequent Diarrhea
My daughter is 16 months and every few months she gets diarrhea so bad is burns her bottom. The diarrhea is yellow is color kinda looks like dijon mustard, very sour in smell it can be smelled through the house. It usually lasts about a week. It tends to flare up when she is cutting teeth. What are the chances it is something other than teething? is there anything I can do to soothe her? or speed up her recovery?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of frequent diarrhea. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like viral gastroenteritis , bacterial gastroenteritis , food allergies , lactose intolerance , giardiasis or irritable bowel syndrome. Need not to worry. You should take plenty of fluids. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor my order test like stool test , endoscopy , ultrasound and take history. Doctor may prescribe omeprazole , ornidazole , albendazole , laxative along with antiemetic drug . For now eat light and non spicy and take antacid after every meal and take light walk after every meal .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
