Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Usually loose stools in this age is viral in nature.
You mentioned that your child previously had cold and this loose stools could be an extension of the same viral infection or a different one.
You can continue to give the medicines your.doctor has prescribed. They will definitely help in controlling loose.stools.
I also give zinc at 10 mg for 2 weeks.
This will help in controlling symptoms and faster recovery.
Don't worry it will settle in few days.
Ensure Ors is given every few minutes as sips to keep hydration adequate.
Wishing your child speedy recovery
