My 16 month old boy has had diarrhea for 2 weeks, what should I do?

Question

My 16 month old boy has had diarrhea for 2 weeks. He poops every 2 hours I would say, his diaper often overflows and I have to change his bed sheets almost every night... He has a milk allergy with epipen. Maybe he ate something he shouldn't have during the holidays? I wonder if that is it, but maybe it is something else too? He doesn't seem to have any other symptoms, eats a lot and drinks well. Should I consult?

Hello ma'am, Since his general condition seems good, I think it would be relevant to try to find a cause. I would suggest that you review what he is eating and the amounts, which you can record in a diary to try to assess the onset and extent of the symptoms. If this is not successful after 2 weeks or if it gets worse, you should see a doctor as a precaution. I will remain available if you have any further questions! Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
