Occasionally children may not pass stools for one or two days after an episode of diarrhoeal desease which is taken for granted. It’s better not to give formula feeds which is a potential cause of diarrhoea especially if contaminated and the child developed diarrhoea following feeding the same.Rarely the diarrhoea may have a prolonged duration as well .
