Passing stools 4-5 times per day is normal in children . If more than 5 episode, give 20ml of ors for each stool passed and give 5 ml of zinc syrup once daily.
Next Steps
don't stop feeding the baby while diarrhoea, give plenty of water or ors fluids except fruit juices ect.
Health Tips
watch for any signs of dehydration like dry mouth, dry eyes, sunken eyes or decrease skin elasticity.
