Child may be having acute gastroenteritis which lasts 3-5 days usually.
If child is eating, drinking well, active, then continue tefular non-spicy non oily foods.
If child is eating less, tired and not so active, then probiotics, WHO APPROVED ORS and other supportive medication requires to be started.
For any queries, book an online consultation with me.
