A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diarrhea continues: It is very likely that if child was put on antibiotics for some reason, the diarrhea will continue until done with antibiotics and probably weeks more after. Antibiotics also kill off good gut bacteria, leaving those that can promote diarrhea. You can try probiotics 1-2 times a day, yogurt also good. Stay away from high sugar things like juice, candy, jello. Low or no lactose diet. Avoid roughage
