Hi
thanks for your query at HCM
you should give him extra fluid and ORS ,
monitor his hydration status
if there is any blood or fever or child starts vomit every thing then immediately visit you doctor
change his diaper after every loose stool
how nuch urine he is passing
continuous follow up to your gastroentrologist is necessary for 2nd line of investigations
i will be available for your help
wishing you a speedy recovery
take care
regards
Dr. Imran Hussain

Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Loose motions could be because of several causes and not just because of infections.
So repeated courses of antibiotics are not going to help your kid.
Proper diagnosis should be arrived at by examination and investigations.
Please consult a pediatrician for the same.
What is his current weight?
Continue to ask further queries.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
