Hi...usually loose stools are usually viral in origin and any viral ilnless cna have fever. Yes you can give Dolopar. But pelase confirm the dose with the sentence below.
Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.
