You shouldn't wait so long to get you're son to the doctor. He probably has a virus but when diarrhea has gone on for several days he's probably dehydrated now too. Try some Gatorade until he can hold food down.

im not totally sure what it is, it could be lots of things. but my daughter has had it before and the doctor told me that diarhea could last for weeks. the best thing to do is give him lots of fluids and put him on the BRATY diet. Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast, and Yogurt. give him plenty of yogurt, it has natural cures for stomach problems, I didnt believe that at first so I looked it up and sure enough it is true. i hope your son gets better.

It could be a G.I. bug. Have him see his Pediatrician. The tummy bugs that make them have diarrhea can last 5-7 days. But the Pedi Doc will know what to do.

It is a good idea that you take him to the doctors because no one can really tell you what is wrong with your son unless they children is experiencing those same systems.. (Good Luck)!!!

A stomach bug. Sounds like a normal childhood illness. He'll pull through.

dont give him milk. if hes having stomach problems, milk isnt good becuase its hard to digest. give him pedialyte. this will help keep him hydrated becuase he is losing a lot of fluid
