Ongoing diarrhea

My three year old has had diarrhea for a week now. He did have vomiting last Wednesday. No vomiting since, no fever, no other symptoms. We have limited his diet to the BRAT diet with little to no change in bowel movements.

Monitor his weight and keep a watch on urine output and dehydration. In first few days, giving ORS (WHO recommended) and zinc syrup is essential. Watch for any rash. You may try stopping milk for 2 weeks.
Next Steps
You should take help of pediatric Gastroenterologist if diarrhea persists for more than 7 days
