Dr. Deborah Ungerleider answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

I would recommend: you contact her pediatrician to discuss and possibly have an exam if it continues. Watch for vomiting, fever, abdominal pain or blood in the stool. Is anyone else ill? Has she eaten any different foods? Traveled? These are all questions her doctor will want to know the answers to help figure out what's wrong.
