See Doctor Now: Diarrhea in a child often caused by bacteria and viruses. Viral illness is usually self-limited requiring minimal intervention whereas bacterial often requires antibiotics. More info is needed about child e.g. presence of fever, vomiting, abdominal pain, stool characteristics and more. Persistence of symptoms after 5 days warrants medical attention. See doctor now for correct diagnosis/treatment.
