Hi madam/sir,
I am really concerned that your child is suffering from
diarrhea. Don't worry diarrhea usually takes its own course of two to three days and resolves on its own. Antibiotics are not recommended unless there is blood in stools (
dysentry). Some amount of pain in tummy can be present due to intestinal colic. It will resolve as diarrhea subsides.
Diarrhea if not taken care well will lead to
dehydration. All you have to do is keep hydrating your child with adequate amount of fluids. II appreciate that you are offering plenty of fluids to drink. In addition to that you can offer buttermilk with salt, tender coconut water, rice porridge. Buy ORS(oral rehydration solution) packets, dissolve them in 1 liter of water and give atleast 100-200ml with every
loose stool. If you are hydrating well, he will pass atleast 5-6 times urine.
Remember the danger signs like
vomiting, frank blood in stools, not passing urine adequately where you need to contact your doctor immediately.
So keep hydrating him well, don't worry about number of episodes of diarrhea, its going to stop in one or two days. Take care.
