Assessment of digestive issues with recovery plans.
Acute & Sick CareDiarrhea is extremely common in children and usually caused by viral infections that resolve within a few days. However, persistent or severe diarrhea can lead to dehydration, which is especially dangerous in infants and young children.
Contact your pediatrician if diarrhea lasts more than 48 hours, you see blood or mucus in the stool, your child shows signs of dehydration (dry lips, no tears, fewer wet diapers, sunken eyes), fever exceeds 102°F, there's persistent abdominal pain, or your child is under 6 months old with any diarrhea.
We assess hydration status, identify potential causes (viral, bacterial, dietary, food sensitivity), and develop a recovery plan. This may include oral rehydration therapy, dietary modifications, stool testing when indicated, and close follow-up monitoring.
Keep your child hydrated with small, frequent sips of water or Pedialyte. Continue breastfeeding or formula. Avoid sugary drinks and fruit juices. Offer bland foods (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) when ready to eat. Monitor for signs of worsening dehydration.
