Hello,
Your child is having loose motions and this is the second episode in 2 weeks. I wanted to know was your child prescribed zinc for the previous episode. If not, then please give him syrup zinc 20 mg per day for 14days. Zinc improves the immunity of the gut and helps to prevent future episodes of gastroenteritis. Regarding his diet giving him curd/ yoghurt, banana and khichdi will help.
Hope that helps.
