You will get to buy ORS sachet that you mix with 200ml water and give it in spoon.
ORS is given during diarrhea.
Give more of rice water with salt, tender coconut water.
For further management, kindly book an online appointment with me.
Take care!

Continue ORS ad lib and do supplement Zinc orally. Diarrhoea take 5-7 days to resolve. If still persisting then better get a consultation.
Keep the child hydrated
