✓Most likely it's Acute infective gastroenteritis . ✓Your improvement from 27 stools to only 2-4 today is a good sign that you're recovering. ✓Keep drinking ORS even if you feel better, as replacing lost fluids is the key to recovery.
Next Steps
✓Stool consistency often returns to normal over 3-7 days as the intestine heals.
