If my child has stomach virus and has diarrhea how can help him before getting to the doctor

Probiotics: There is not a lot that you can do for diarrhea, however, using probiotics (available from the pharmacy...Just ask for them) may help shorten the duration. I have found that it usually takes at least a week. Make sure that you maintain hydration for the child. Urinating 3 x in 24 hours is a good sign.
