Your child has persistent diarrhoea if she is passing more than 3 loose stools per day.
Not all loose stools are caused by bacteria, so antibiotics are rarely needed
Monitor dehydration: Encourage ORS after every stool and adequate fluid intake.
Continue age-appropriate feeding.
Avoid sugary drinks, juice, high-fat foods.
May need temporary lactose-free diet if signs of lactose intolerance (bloating, excessive gas, worsening stools after milk).
Offer easily digestible foods: khichdi, mashed banana, rice cereal.
Consider lactose-free milk for 1–2 weeks if symptoms worsen after milk
Wash hands after diaper changes and before feeding.
Use boiled/cooled water, clean utensils, and hygienic food preparation.
Next Steps
Syp Zinc 20mg/5ml, give 5ml once daily for 2 weeks
ORS powder 1 sachet diluted in 1L water and given as and when required (avoid ready made ORS tetra packs)
Avoid antibiotics unless advices by a Pediatrician as they themselves can cause loose stools
Tab Sporolac 1 tablet thrive daily for 3-5 days
If not improving in 1 week, go for stool routine and microscopy
Consider stool reducing substances if lactose intolerance suspected.
Monitor hydration status and weight
