Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Your child developed diarrhea due to the infection (parenteral diarrhea) or due to the antibiotic associated diarrhea.
Nothin to worry and continue the medication as advised by your doctor.
Diarrhea can be treated by giving probiotics like lactobacillus or saccharomyces orally.
Continue Pedialyte oral sips to prevent dehydration.
Consult your doctor for medication advise.
Hope I have answered your query.
