Possibly has gastroenteritis. An acute infection usually lasts 3-5 days.
If cold is active, eating and drinking am, then continue the same.
If tired, not eating anything or very thirsty, then give WHO APPROVED ORS and other supportive medication would be required.
For any queries, book an online consultation with me.
I am a lactation consultant, IYCF (Infant and Young Child Feeding) nutrition expert with an interest in Childhood Infections and Vaccinations.
Take care!
