My daughter 12 and I both got a stomach virus , vomiting I recovered in 2 days ,she is still lathargic and has a rash that keeps coming and going all over her torso face and limbs. I have given her allergy meds to help but it still keeps coming back stronger what can cause this? and how long should it persist?
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. It seems your kid is having viral diarrhea. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better.

There is no need to use antibiotics unless there is blood in the motion. Antibiotics might worsen if unnecessarily used causing antibiotic associated diarrhea. I suggest you use zinc supplements (Z&D Chat Doctor.
