Hi,
First of all, it's sad to know what your child had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, this treatment may be sufficient and may yield results in a day or two but if still not improving injectable fluids and antibiotics may be needed.
Using probiotics along these and diet control may be helpful. Soft diets, as well as oral rehydration salts, may be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
