Question
My baby has been experiencing diarrhea for three days and there has been no improvement. How long does it usually take for a baby to recover from diarrhea?
Answer
The recovery time for baby diarrhea depends on the cause. If it’s due to a viral infection, it may take about a week. If caused by catching a cold, recovery is typically around three days. However, if the baby has acute gastroenteritis, the recovery period may also be about a week and may require intravenous treatment if necessary.
