Your child is having acute gastroenteritis Antibiotics are usually not needed unless we suspect a bacterial cause, but most commonly such infections are viral in origin. moreover they themselves cause loose stools a side effect. Avoid juices, sodas, or sugary drinks as they can worsen diarrhea Offer soft, easily digestible food like rice, banana, curd, or khichdi. Don’t force feed! Ensure hygiene:Wash hands with soap after every diaper change and before feeding the child. Ensure safe drinking water and avoid outside food.
Next Steps
Syp Zinc 20mg/5ml, give 5ml once daily for 14days ORS sachet in 1L water after each loose stool Syp Ondan 2mg/5ml, give 3ml sos Tab Sporolac 1/2tab thrice daily Syp PcT 6th hourly with tepid sponging
Health Tips

Just replenish what she’s losing… Maintain hydration.,by giving ORS,Coconut water,dal water and curd. Antibiotics ,though not always required,but once started,need 3-5 days to work. Watch out for child’s activity and urine output,not on number of stools.
Next Steps
Add Syp Zinc 5 ml once a day.
