Diarrhea (acute)

Diarrhea is one of the most common illnesses in children and a common reason for doctor visits. If diarrhea lasts for less than one week it is considered acute (longer term diarrhea is considered chronic). For more information on the causes, diagnosis and treatment of acute diarrhea in children download the GastroKids Fact Sheet on Acute Diarrhea.
