Okay, hun, my concern about rota virus is that it mostly occurs from November through April, it is rarely a summertime illness. It does happen but rarely.
Yeah I just read that in the article you gave me. That's weird.

Yes, you are in a good hospital, with great docs. Is he showing any other symptoms? No vomiting? Lethargy? Headache
None of them now. He did have a low grade fever (98-99) 3 weeks ago.
Quote:
You say he has loose stools, when my oldest had it I would give him water and it would literally run right through
Nothing like when he originally had rotavirus. There is some consistency. That doctor actually saw it the first time and he was somewhat OK with it. Of course, he did say if it gets at all worse to call them.

I am sure to docs told you, you need to keep an eye on his skin. If it looks dried out. The symptoms include dry mouth, throat and mucous membranes (when he cries there would be no tears) sunken abdomen eyes or cheeks, no wet diapers for 3 hours or more?
Yes they didn't tell us specific like you are but they tell us about the wet diapers. Also, to make sure he isn't lathargic. Since we saw him once like this we would/should know the signs.

Are you able to give him pedialyte? I would ask if this is okay to help combat dehydration.
They didn't say. They did say no juice. I know pedialyte isn't juice but they limited him to only 16oz water a day for a couple days.
