Most commonly viral: The most common cause of prolonged diarrhea in toddlers is due to a viral infection in the intestines.The typical course lasts 2-5 days and it is very important to keep your child hydrated during this time.Pedialyte is especially helpful with the added electrolytes which your child is losing through the diarrhea.Stay away from juices as this can make the diarrhea worse.IV hydration can be needed.
