Hi, My boy is 1 years old and has been having diarrhea since 25th April. We went to a pediatrician yesterday but the diarrhea has not stopped after taking the medicine 3 times since then. Should I seek another doctor advice ? What food should he avoid ? Thank you very much. Yours Sincerely, Kwan Wee Sim
Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. If the child is having diarrhea continuously for more than 3 weeks along with malnutrition and weight loss, it is called chronic diarrhea. Better consult a pediatrician for thorough investigation and treatment under his supervision.Sometimes he may need hospital admission. Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care Chat Doctor. V. Subrahmanyam MD;Disassociate professor of pediatrics
