Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
Dr. XXXXXXX is not online now.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini and I am pleased to answer your query.
It appears your son has got a stomach bug.
A stool test may be done for analysis.
Give him probiotics and yogurt for faster relief.
Kids get dehydrated very fast during episodes of diarrhea. So keep him well hydrated by giving him enough fluids and electrolyte solution like pedialyte.
A moist tongue and good urine output will indicate that he is adequately hydrated.
If stool test reveals bacterial infection, he may require a course of antibiotics.
I hope that answers your question.
