My 6 year old presented 13 days ago with possible appendicitis, they put him in for 24hr observation and concluded that since he was having diarrhea now but no progression in pain it was just Colitis. He went back to er because still having diarrhea and decreased appetite and abdominal pain but they said his blood work looked ok. Two days later he had severe headache and high fever so we took him back in and he tested positive for influenza B. Here we are on day 13 of decreased appetite and what we thought was his stool returning to normal but now it s turning soft again and they have mucus and white rice looking pieces.(side note is he doesn t eat rice) Please help, no one seems to know what is going on, I m worried that we can t seem to go even a full 24hrs without diarrhea.
