Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea, Runny Nose And Chest Congestion In A Child
I have a 9 month old who has had diahrrea since Sunday, been on a brat diet and Pedialyte only since Wednesday. She is getting worse, severe runny nose, congestion, and highly fussy. She is a baby who rarely fussed. 12 poopy liquid diapers today. Should I take her to our local ER?

Hi,
With all the symptoms over so many days, with no improvement and needing 12 diapers a day, it definitely needs specific treatment. Please take her to ER. Till then, keep her protected from cold. Keep her well hydrated. She can continue taking breast milk.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
