Its too late to take her to the doc tonight and I am freaking out so I just want to know what this could be..she doesnt have a fever
HI...please do not worry. It seems like a viral diarrhea. Unless there is blood in motion you need not worry. Once it starts it will take 5-7 days to completely get better. Unless the kids having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. 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.
