Continue loose motions to 7 months baby
My 7 months old Son is having continuous watery loose motions from yesterday. He had fever and vomiting and Dr has given Crosin ds, ondem drops, centricizine and z and d for that. Now fever is cured but he has started continuous loose motions after every feed. Before some days I have started semi solids and right now I am giving him formula as he don't like to have rice pej due to fever recovery. Dr has given probiotic but nothing is working. Need advice urgently.

Mainly when complimentary feeding is started it is very good that semi solid is started but it should not be the major thing ,only in a day 2 to 3 times of one food type only and 2 to 4 spoons only.
For every stool WHO ors has properly mixed in water like 1 litre packet should be mixed in 1 litre water only.
Then syrup zinc 5ml one time for 14 days should be given to baby.
Next Steps
watch for sign of dehydration like
excessive irritability or drowsiness
sunken eyes ,decrease urinary output,dry eyes.
