Diarrhea in Children

Mild, crampy, all-over pain is common with an infection of the stomach and intestines called gastroenteritis. Your child may have some vomiting and mild fever. Call your doctor if he starts to vomit more or his other symptoms are getting worse. He should be much better within a couple days; if not call your doctor.
