Hi, my 12 month daughter showed signs of a stomach flu a week ago today. (throwing up for about 24 hrs) She has since then has had loose pale yellow stools.... Does this mean she is still fighting the virus? Could she still be contagious to others? Should I be concerned for her?Ps. My husband & I both were sick too, but we dont have yellow stool?!
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Gastroenteritis causes symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Some or all of these symptoms are present. If she is still having loose stools then the infection can still be transmitted. The risk of transmission is significantly reduced by careful handwashing since the infection can be passed in this way. At her age, you have to be very careful with her fluid management because child Chat Doctor.
