A stomach flu should not persist for 3 weeks. She was already seen and worked up by a pediatrician so please patiently wait for the result because the child's symptoms are considered not dangerous.

The gut may take some time to heal, discuss a probiotic with your Pediatrician. Avoid dairy products since this may worsen the symptoms due to inability to properly digest dairy products. This is distinct from milk and food allergic reactions. If there is a family history, history of eczema or allergies, the risk of food allergy may be increased. Watch for dehydration, replenish fluids, Pedialyte.
