Some basics: Hospital based ER care should be sought when a bad outcome will occur if it is not tended to immediately. If the kid cannot take fluids well enough to pee at least every 6-8 hrs/is lethargic/won't play some, he is likely dehydrated & needs such care. If not, applesauce/bananas/rice cereal or steamed rice can help stop the diarrhea. OTC zinc oxide or hydrocortizone can help the bottom.
