<s>[INST] My 3 year old had an apparent febrile seizure. Cause according to doctors and paramedics was an unknown viral infection and after a bath she had a temperature of 39 degrees celsius. For the most part she s fine now, however has had diorrehea for the last 3 days. It appears to be very slowly solidifying and decreasing in frequency. Roughly still around 7-8 times a day. Quantities vary. Have been giving her red color Gatorade energy drink as she won t drink hydralite or pedilite. 1. Is the red color poop due to the Gatorade? 2. Is there anyting we can do for her sore anus due to the constant diorrhea? My daughter is 3 years old, approx. 120-130cm tall and around 15 kg. Thanks for your time... [/INST] Hello have gone through the details. Most common cause of loose stool (if not associated with blood or mucus)in this age is some viral infection. It may take 5-7 days for the stool pattern to get normal. Soreness around anus is common following loose stool. This soreness is due to irritation of skin due to absorbed lactose. Red colored poop can be due to the Chat Doctor. Blood in stool should be ruled by stool examination. I would suggest you to apply Sinai/rash free cream over the sore area. Also give probiotic and zinc for early recovery. I hope this helps. Regards </s>
