Brief Answer:
Ensure proper hydration.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concern. Let me assure that if the frequency of passing urine is more than 6 times in 24 hours, you need not be concerned and the only thing you need to be concerned about is to keep the child properly hydrated. Give the child ORS (oral rehydration solution). You need not be concerned by frequency of passage of stool so long as the child is otherwise active and if there is no blood in stool.

You can give Prowell XXXXXXX and zinc supplements.

Let me know if you have further queries.
