A member asked:

My 5yr old has diarrhea, loss of appeite, head and stomach hurts and is weak & sleepy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably viral: If they do not have fever, blood or mucous in their stool, are taking fluids without a problem and have no other symptoms you can probably wait 24 hrs and see if this begins to clear, but any deterioration or suggestion of possible dehydration should lead to a doctors office promptly.
