Bland diet: His diarrhea is more than likely caused by a virus. Keep him on a bland diet, nothing greasy or fried. Also stay away from milk and juice for a few days.

Diarrhea in kids: When u say all day how many do u mean? If it si watery and he has mucous or blood in it, all that info helps. U may need to see his pediatricain if he is having large watery bms. Also, how old ius ur child? Younger kids get dehydrated very rapidly.

Viral: Could be a viral infection or something he ate.Could even be teething--how old is he? Do not give him milk or juices.Give him a high carb diet--rice,white bread,potatoes.Give him Pedialyte or Gatorade and make sure he is urinating well.It should pass.
