Hey ... I understand your concern . U see most of the loose motions at this age is due to viral infections and sometimes bacterial. As I understand you have started your medicines 3 days back. Give it some time . The more important matter is the compensation of water loss from loose motions. Is his motions contain large quantity of water??? Does he have fever?? What is his current weight??
Next Steps
Continue with regular feeds and it will help the baby. And get a electral readymade ors available in the market and give him sips of it if the water content is high.
Health Tips
Kindly give a feedback if this helped u and consult me if u further need my assistance in this. I hope the baby recover well. All the best.
