Pediatrician,  's  Response
Loose motion or diarrhoea in infants occurs primarily due to viral cause although it can also be caused by certain bacteria. Unless associated with bloody stools, no management of the cause is required. All you need to do is to give ORS so that the salt and water balance is maintained. Prevention of dehydration is important. Econorm contains beneficial bacteria replenishing which helps in correcting the diarrhoea. Continue giving it for a few days. Also give Syr Zinconia (contains zinc) for a few days. No other medication required. Just give proper nutritive diet and things will be fine in no time.
