Hi,
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the condition of viral fever of pediatric patient then diarrhea is the likely condition and it may not needs any special medication but it is the self limiting condition, here the hydration is the matter of concern and it need to be taken care, at the most Lyophilized Lactobacillus sachets can be tried half sachets three times in day with little water.
Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain Shaikh
