Hi,
You can try a different anti-diarrheal drug as imodium 3 times daily. You should also make sure the child is adequately hydrated with enough amounts of fluids to compensate for fluid loss in diarrhea. You can also give oral rehydration solution 5 teaspoons for every pound of child's weight to avoid dehydration.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
