Diarrhea, or the passage of watery stools, is a very common illness our immediate care pediatrics providers see in children that typically gets better within a week. With diarrhea, it is important to watch for signs of dehydration (decrease in urine, no tears when crying, listlessness). If your child’s symptoms persist or worsen, it’s essential to seek medical attention promptly, consider visiting our kids urgent care nearby, where our urgent care pediatrics providers at Little Spurs can assist.
