Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that after 3 weeks of diarrhoea your child will be having electrolyte imbalance with many more complication of diarrhoea like dehydration, cramps, cough and all. At this point you need to consult a pediatrician and your child might require hospitalisation.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
