Symptoms of Diarrhoea
Symptoms can range from slightly watery stools and a brief upset tummy, to longer-term extremely watery stools and cramp.
Common symptoms include:
- Crampy tummy pains
- Nausea or vomiting
- High temperature (fever)
- Headache
- Loss of appetite
If the diarrhoea lasts more than two weeks (in an adult), it is considered chronic. If your child has diarrhoea for more than five days you should take them to the GP.
