Any number of things can cause the disruption of anyones intestinal tract. For children, it can be Allergies, too rich of foods, too many new foods introduced to the baby at one time, teething, a cold or flu, especially intestinal. No matter what it is, if it has gone on in anyone, especially an infant or small child for more than a few days, it needs definite medical attention because they are losing precious body fluids and can become dehydrated very quickly which can shut down other organs in the body. They are also losing electrolytes which are crucial in maintaining a healthy body. Take them to the ER if its after hours in your area or if the doctor's office is still open, get him an appointment today for sure. Its your baby's life you're dealing with.
