HI
Well come to HCM
Thank for asking
I really appreciate your concern, diarrhea in this age group is self limiting unless it is due to some GI specific pathologies but for other reasons it is self limiting just a care needs to be taken for dehydration, some time it takes little longer time for normal frequency of stool passing so just be patience and no need to worry hope this information helps.
