Cepheus diagnosed with Gastroenteritis

Cepheus diarrhea 4 times yesterday and 5 times today, I brought him to see his usual PD and he was diagnosed with Gastroenteritis.  According to the doc, its a common virus that children normally contract when they start to go to childcare centres.. first three months is the most prone to sickness and viruses.  He is not going to give him any medication to stop the diarrhea but we were expected to let it stop naturally.  The diarrhea could have persisted from 4 days to as long as 14 days.. and during this period, we are not allowed to bring him to school either so that he will not be spreading the virus to other kids.. Cepheus was not given any medication to stop the diarrhea but rather some Loperamide syrup to harden his stools only and some probiotics syrup to take as supplement to boost his immunity.  We were told to monitor his water intake closely as he needs lots and lots of water to prevent dehydration..  no more milk and dairy products for him for now although he sometimes still asks for milk now.. but it is best to avoid all those at the moment.. I just hope that he quickly recovers in time for our great outing on Sunday! Mommy's birthday celebration at the Universal Studios!
