Indiscriminate use of antibiotics is a dangerous practice . You should stop all the medicines . Make change in dies for three days . Stop milk and juices . Give curd , overcooked rice , banana, potato , coconut water, fresh lime etc interesting recipes .observe stool for blood , mucus , un digested food particles , consistency . Observe anus for redness all around , excoriation of skin , observe tummy for distension & give enough water so that child continues to pass urine . After noting all this you should video call doctor , if problem persists .
