Continue hydration: Continue the probiotic until well, avoid dairy products except for yogurt. Adjust diet to include bananas, rice, toast, and avoid full strength fruit juices. An electrolyte solution for children and clear fluids is recommended. Watch for signs of dehydration, fever, and blood/mucus in the stool. Please follow up and have a flu vaccination.
