Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query your toddler having symptoms of diarrhea which seems to be due to electrolyte imbalance, improper metabolism and could be gastroenteritis.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to give child plenty of fluids and diet rich in fibres. Consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order stool test and may prescribe laxative, ornidazole or albendazole along with ranitidine. Give child light and non spicy food to eat and keep your head elevated while lying down. You should avoid intake of outside food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
