Specializes in Internal Medicine

Anything: It could be a gastroenteritis, colitis, food allergy, enteropathy, rotavirus infection; it could be anything with just that one symptom. See a doctor if it is concerning or if you can't keep up with fluid losses, but usually these just clear by themselves.

A member asked:

My 7 year old son. Two days ago started with diarrhea. That day he went twice to the bathroom. I also noticed he had a low grade fever of 98 and 99 for the past two days that comes and goes. Yesterday, he only went to the bathroom once and it wasnt diarrhea like the first day. We are part of a co-op for school with 9 children total in the pod. I just wondering if I should get him tested before returning to the pod and should the whole family do it and/or quarantine. Kids symptoms ?
