A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diarrhea : Diarrhea can be dangerous because it can lead to dehydration which can pose a serious risk. By the date of this post your son is likely better by now. In the future if diarrhea and/or vomiting are present monitor your child for dehydration. Dry mouth/lips, pale or clammy skin, lethargy, behavioral changes are signs. If any of these things are present seek medical care. Also if blood, mucous, or parasites are in the stool, and/or a fever is present, a medical visit is necessary.
