4 year old with loose bowels and big appetite for more than 48 hours. cause for concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Sounds like a stomach virus. The big appetite is a good sign, since they can stay well hydrated and strong. Keep them hydrated, let them eat as tolerated, and watch for any other issues like severe vomiting, blood in the stool, or prolonged fever.
