Severe diarrhea : How long is he suffering from diarrhea? If this is an on going problem , he needs work up to make a proper diagnosis, but if it is only for few days then you can modify his diet, eliminate all dairy products for 2-3 days, give him plain bread, rice, pasta, boiled or baked potatoes, apples, bananas, soup, crackers farina, keep him well hydrated, introduce regular diet gradually . Good luck

See a pediatrician: If this diarrhea has lasted more 2 days, there can be significant consequences and several different causes. Your son should be on clear liquids only - sports drinks mixed half & half with water, or Pedialyte until the diarrhea stops. Then he can start the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) for at least 24 hrs. It's important that he be evaluated to treat the underlying cause.
