Loose motion from last 8 days

2026-02-10 05:36:39
My 1 year 11 month son is having loose motion from 7- 8 days. I had given O2M syrup twice in the first 3 days of loose motion and in the next 2 days he did potty 1 or 2 times only. But again after that he is doing potty 4 to 5 times mostly after eating something from last 3 days.  Please suggest the medication.

If the child is passing urine frequently & active, then don't worry. Give ORS with appropriate dilution after each loose stool. Avoid sugar rich foods like chocolate and biscuits. Be aware of ORS labelled energy drinks. Stop Antibiotics. Add Syp ZINC 10 mg PO OD for total 14 days if not already added. Add probiotics. Continue breastfeeding. Watch for danger signs.
Next Steps
Rush to emergency opd if any danger sign appears.
