Electral Powder!
Hi, my 16 months son is passing stool frequently ( not loose) he was suffering from loose motions on 26th Feb that time Dr prescribed Electral Powder. Loose motions stopped on 28/29 Feb but I continue to give him Electral Powder mostly in afternoon as this is summer. From last 2 days he is passing hard stools frequently is this because of Electral Powder??? Is it safe to give Electral Powder through complete summer??? Dosage??? Best suggest the best brand for 16 months infant.
Thanks in advance, please revert in detail and kindly don't send advice to consult.

ORS is to be given only in cases of diarrhea and dysentery to replenish fluid and electrolytes that are lost
It cannot be used as a supplement ,no matter if it is summer
Give fruits, tender coconut, soups and other liquids
By the way, electral doesnt cause constipation
Reduce milk based diet if there

Electral WHO ORS does not cause constipation. Hard stools may be due to other factors. It's better to drink different natural juices than electral everyday. No such studies are there of giving electral for months together. Electral is a good brand
