Diarrhea, especially lasting three weeks,
usually indicates an intestinal infection,
which can be confirmed by a stool sample
test performed by your Pediatrician. The
presence of protein in the urine might
indicate the early stages of kidney
failure. Your Pediatrician may conduct a
few diagnostic tests, including an
ultrasound, to determine the cause.
