Passing loose motions
My 10 months old baby passing loose stools 2-3 times a day from last 3days. He usually passes normal stools once a day. But all of the sudden he's passing loose motions. And also having loss of appetite. Denying for water too. He's active like usual. Even while teething he never had loose motions. He has 8 teeth now. No signs of teething. From last 3days his urine output also less than usual. Passing urine 9-10 times a day.(Before he was passing urine every 1hour). Here is his stool test report.

Is he mouthing a lot? If urine output is less give good amount of ORS for hydration. If you feel that motions have blood, mucus or he is febrile, a antibiotic course is needed. Otherwise you can give Zinc suspension equivalent to 20 mg of elemental zinc per day for 2 weeks
