A member asked:
How long will the gastrointestinal virus last for in a 9 monthold bub he has diarrhea and fever and cramps it was caugh from his sister from school?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Symptom time varies: The fever and cramps generally resolve within 3-5 days. However, the diarrhea can last for weeks after this type of illness. Contrary to popular belief, don't try to limit his usual diet a lot unless there is vomiting. The sooner you can get him back on a normal diet, the sooner symptoms will clear. Encourage proteins (meats, eggs, nuts), avoid lots of juice , rehydration drinks or soda
