Diarrhea without high fever, mucus or blood in the stool, or prolonged vomiting may be safely treated initially with clear liquids for 6 to 12 hours. As noted previously, Pedialyte is the best fluid for infants. Fruit juice or other sugary drinks may make diarrhea worse. Return to a bland diet within 1 to 2 days as tolerated. Call if problems persist.
