Offer drinks called glucose-electrolyte solutions. These fluids have the right balance of water, sugar, and salts. Some are available as ORS.
Avoid juice or soda. They may make diarrhea worse.
However, in certain cases,call the doctor - for example:
If your child is particularly unwell.
If your child has bloody stools.
If your child is admitted to hospital.
If food poisoning is suspected.
