Hello,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions for you:

1. As you have given the medicines for 5 days, I would suggest you to stop the medicines.

2. Most of the diarrhea at this age are viral and they need maintenance of hydration. So I would suggest you to continue plenty of fluids like curd, buttermilk, soups, coconut water, etc in addition to ORS fluids. Please continue breast feeding.

3. I would also suggest him syrup zinc for 14 days which helps to recover early.

4. If the rash is itchy, I would suggest you to give your baby cetirizine for 3 days. If it is not itchy, you can apply a simple lotion over the rash.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish your baby a very good health ahead.

Thank you & Regards.
