Loose motions in children are most commonly caused by a viral stomach infection or contaminated food and usually improve within a few days. The most important treatment is to prevent dehydration by giving ORS after every loose stool, continuing a normal age-appropriate diet, and avoiding oily or junk foods. If the child has fever, blood in stools, repeated vomiting, is unable to drink, becomes unusually sleepy, or passes very little urine, please consult a pediatrician immediately. If symptoms persist beyond 3–5 days, an examination is also advised.

Greetings
It Looks like acute gastroenteritis, which may be caused by a viral infection, a bacterial food-related illness, or a dietary allergy. For initial home management, you should offer a commercial Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) in small, frequent amounts, alongside a routine zinc supplement to decrease stool duration. Avoid giving any over-the-counter antidiarrheal medications to a child this young, as they can cause severe side effects and delay recovery. Add Enterogermina respules 1 respules two times a day 5 days
