Hello, I understand your concern It sounds like your child had a viral or bacterial gastroenteritis, and while the acute symptoms have partially improved, she is now experiencing post-infectious irritable bowel-like symptoms or temporary lactose intolerance, which is common in children after an episode of diarrhea. After a gut infection, the intestinal lining may temporarily lose the ability to digest lactose (milk sugar), and this can cause cramps and loose stools after eating, especially dairy or heavy foods. This is usually self-limiting and improves in 1–2 weeks. 1. Give easily digestible food: Offer soft, bland foods like rice, dal, curd, banana, applesauce, toast. Avoid milk, dairy products, fried/oily foods, sweets, or juices for now. 2. Give adequate fluids: Give plenty of ORS (oral rehydration solution) after each loose stool to maintain hydration. Continue breastfeeding if applicable. 3. Probiotics can help: Continue the Recigyl SB (Saccharomyces boulardii) as advised — it helps restore good gut bacteria. 4. Avoid forcing food: Let her eat small frequent meals based on appetite. Appetite usually returns once the gut settles. 5. Observe stool pattern: If stools are improving in consistency and frequency, continue current management. Watch for red flags: blood in stool, persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, or signs of dehydration (dry mouth, reduced urine, lethargy).

Fever, loose stools, cramps suggest a cause which could be of viral origin or a mixed pathogen too if it partially resolved on Cefixime - the antibiotic given. I will advise a stool test- at least a routine and microscopic to start with and have an idea of the cause of diarrhea. How is the fever? Is it better. Continue paracetamol if required. Is there any blood in the stool suggestive of dysentery? For now follow this to relieve the symptoms- Regular ORS rather than plain water. Coconut water is very relieving Give curd/ dahi/ lassi/ buttermilk rather than milk Continue recigyl sb for 2 weeks - it will help digest any milk consumption too if the child must have milk. Add Syp Zinc 20 mg per day for 2 weeks Diet consisting of banana, apple, khitchri, rice and curd, soft noodles, rice crackers or plain light crackers, toasted white bread is all good Remember keeping the child well hydrated is the key to come out of the problem
