Family practice : That's pretty much all you should do for most viruses. Imodium (loperamide) ad for diarrhea. But lasting more than a few days is abnormal , needs to be seen.

Good start: As long as the kid takes in enough fluids to pee at least once every 6 hours you are maintaining hydration & can monitor the situation at home.Sometimes small quantities of applesauce and bananas will help slow the kids diarrhea..
