Hi Good Evening. The only concern about loose stools is that child hydration should be maintained well. Please give him plenty of water and even ORS. rather giving as lumpsum, make sure u give it as few sips very frequently. Diet can be given normally, restriction of milk and milk based products can be done if frequency of stools increases. U can continue Mother feeding . Pls add Probiotics like Syp.Bifilac 2.5ml thrice a day, will help him in digestion
Next Steps
KINDLY GIVE HIM PLENTY OF WATER/ORS
Health Tips
Watch for,
1. Decreased urine output
2. Excessive tiredness / lethargy.
If any
Kindly visit nearby pediatrician.
