What Causes Diarrhea And Belly Bloating In A Child?
My 17-month old has had several normal stools today. He has not eaten well, but seems in relatively good spirits. After giving him a bath, my husband and I were concerned that his belly looked very bloated and felt harder than normal. He has had diarrhea 3 times this afternoon. Should we go into the doctor or wait to see if symptoms worsen?

Hello,
If the stools are normally formed, then you need not worry. If these are watery and associated with pain in the abdomen, fullness or bleeding per rectum, then you can consult with a pediatrician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
