no. you should not give pepto-bismol to children under the age of 12. if your son has had diarrhea for three days it is important for you to consult the pediatrician to find out what is causing it. pedialyte can help him avoid becoming dehydrated. but he needs to be examined by a doctor as soon as possible.
my 2-year-old has had diarrhea for almost three days now. is it safe to give him pepto-bismol along with pedialyte?
