What can I give my 5 year old for diarrhea?

For a 5-year-old with diarrhea, it's important to keep them hydrated. Offer clear fluids like water, oral rehydration solutions, or diluted fruit juices to replace lost fluids and electrolytes. You can also provide bland foods like bananas, rice, Applesauce, and toast (the BRAT diet) once their appetite returns. Avoid dairy products, sugary drinks, and fatty foods until they recover. Always consult a pediatrician if the diarrhea persists or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms.
