Diarrhea in 9 month old contagious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Most diarrheal viruses in infants are considered contagious through oral secretions during the fever, while viral shedding in the stool may continue for weeks. Most day care centers allow them to return if they are fever free for the preceding 24 hrs.
