Things : Things you can do for him are: -stop giving juice (sugary drinks can worsen diarrhea) and continue giving oral rehydration solutions such as pedialyte. -avoid dairy for a few days since milk can worsen diarrhea -continue a regular diet -watch for diaper rash, change diapers frequently and use a barrier diaper cream if he is in diapers call your child's doctor if: -the diarrhea lasts longer than 7 days -for blood or mucus in the stool -fever -signs of dehydration such as no urine in 8 hours, dry, cracked lips, doughy skin, no tears, sunken eyes, irritability or lethargy.
