My almost 2 year old has had diarrhea for just over a week now, she hasn't run a temp or aced differently at all but it has been 9 days now and I don't know what to do. She can't go to care because of it.... is there anything I can do? Or what on earth could this be?? We have never had a tummy bug last this long.
Also no vomitting, no temp, no grizzling, still eating and drinking. Help??? We are having to wash a tonne of clothes and sheets everyday and the poor thing has a rash  ------------- https://secure.fertilityfriend.com/home/30c4ec/" rel="nofollow">  Mrs Te Kani ❤️ Neosha 26/5/2007 |

Have you been to the dr? I suggest getting a poo sample and going to the dr to get it tested. If there is a bacteria/other organism causing it, then they may well be able to treat it. I swear by Imodium but I don't know if kids can take it. Given that she has no other symptoms, I wonder about a gut bacteria. Has she started any new foods? Also wondering about a reaction to something she's eaten.
You poor things. Hope you get an answer and fix soon. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

Have you been to the doc and had it tested? They recommend you do that if it has been going on longer than 48 hrs I think. Ashleigh had campylobactor a year or so ago and it lasted 10 days I think. Just runny poos, no other unwell symptoms. I have no idea where she got it from!! She had a terrible nappy rash aswell and its hard to give them nappy off time when they are pooing all the time  I would let her play in the bath for half an hour or so twice a day with some salt in it, plus didn't use wipes as they stung and lots of barrier cream. Hope she gets better soon  ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

Astin had campylobactor early last year which meant the diarrhia lasted for well over 2 weeks and his poos smelt sooooooo bad!! i think he was a bit off the whole time though, not eating with temp etc I took him to the docs after 2 days and they took a sample to test. I dont think there was any kind of meds though except for pedialytes bcos he wasnt drinking.
Def take her to the docs. |

I work in public hospital and norovirus and campylobactor are rampant in the community at the moment. 9 days is a little long for it to be noro. Has she been on antibiotics? that can cause c.difficle (in the elderly, I presume in children as well....)
I would def take her to the Dr and they may take a faecal spec to be sure. Let us know what Dr says, |
