Gastroenteritis in kids
My 4yr old boy was suffering from gastroenteritis last week. His antibiotic taxim-o got over day before yesterday. After 48 hrs, today he again pooped 5 times. Loose stools, yellow in colour but opaque (not transparent like before). He is otherwise active.
Is it a new infection or the same diseas taking time to get better? How long will it take?
Also kindly suggest dietary restrictions to be followed..
