My 9 month old had covid recently (tested positive 16th Feb) and was pretty unwell with it (temps, cough/snot, hoarse voice) for well over a week. She’s still a bit snotty but otherwise much better.
Her appetite is really up and down but she’s not a great eater of solids, and is still breastfed.

She’s had loose watery stools for about 5 days now. No vomiting, seems fine in herself. Nappies are wet and she seems well hydrated. She drinks water well from a cup.

Anyone else’s baby had this? Everyone else in the household is well so a bug seems less likely, but possible I suppose

Could be a reaction to taking calpol/paracetamol. I didn’t give my son calpol as this gave him diarrhoea, he has to have ibuprofen instead.
