Babies: 9 - 12 Months

6 month baby has diarrhea

My 6 month old baby has had diarrhea now for 4 days.  She has ear infection along with a congested nose so I think that may be what is causing it.  She is on medication for the ear infection.  Should I call the doctor and have her checked out or is there something i can do??  She probably has 5 runny diapers daily.  No fever and still a pretty good appetite.  Just curious your thoughts.

  • ok thanks, I'll call the doctor and see what she says, looks like i'll be on my way to the store.  :)))
  • alot of times the meds will cause the diarrehea.  My baby just got over his first ear infection and was given amoxycillin in return it caused diarrehea.  But it also turned into a stomach flu.  Keep a good watch on her make sure shes staying hydrated well.  We went to the pedi twice this week.
